Rich Hill Allows One Run In Five Innings In Tuesday's Debut
The Kansas City Royals called up 45-year-old veteran Rich Hill from Triple-A Omaha to make his first start of the season in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Cubs. Making his first big-league start since Sept. 4, 2023, Hill tossed five innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks with one strikeout. Hill made his MLB debut 20 years ago with the Cubs and tied the MLB record for number of teams played on at 14 with his start. It is a fantastic story for a true veteran of the game, but Hill will likely not provide much fantasy value. He accumulated a poor 5.22 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP, and a 27.4% strikeout rate in his 50 IP in the Royals' minor-league system. His next opponent, should he take another turn in the rotation, would be a decent matchup against the Braves. However, fantasy managers should not trust him at this time.
