Rich Hill likely out a month with latest blister issue
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill is expected to miss at least a month due to ongoing blister problems.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Sunday that Hill would head to the disabled list, and there is at least a four week timetable for his return.
Rich Hill will be out at least four weeks, Dave Roberts said.

The Dodgers are focused on giving Hill time to fully heal, as he has long struggled with blisters. This one is particularly severe, and it ensured that he lasted just two pitches on Saturday in his start against the Washington Nationals.
Hill has struggled to the tune of a 6.20 ERA so far this season, and it’s simply not clear if the team will be able to rely on him much going forward.
