Fantasy Impact:
This is nerve-wracking news for fantasy owners and baseball fans. Hill tossed a perfect first inning in Wednesday's game before being removed with what was labeled as left forearm discomfort. Forearm injuries to pitchers are usually more serious than day-to-day concerns, so it makes sense that the Dodgers are making this move. Hill will undergo an MRI later on Thursday, so more concrete details on the severity of his injury should be available then. Julio Urias was already penciled into the Dodgers' rotation to allow extra rest for other starters, and he now figures to stick in the rotation until Hill can return.
