Rich Hill

The Padres have placed Rich Hill on waivers.

Fantasy Impact

San Diego is reportedly looking to see if someone will pick Hill up for the last few weeks of the season. If not, he will remain with the Padres.

Rich Hill had a forgettable performance in Monday's game against the Phillies, as he allowed six earned runs in just 1.1 innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran left-hander struggled with command, surrendering seven hits and two walks while only managing to strike out three batters. This outing further dampens Hill's already disappointing season, as he now carries a 5.66 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP through 27 starts. Fantasy managers should approach Hill with caution moving forward, as his inconsistency and lack of effectiveness make him a risky option for their pitching staffs.

The San Diego Padres have acquired starting pitcher Rich Hill from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Hill, 43, continues his MLB journey with the Padres after tossing a 4.76 ERA across 22 starts with the Pirates this season. The southpaw has seen his K-BB% dip to just 10.8% while it's unclear what role he will play for a Padres team apparently not done in the NL Wild Card race.

Rich Hill struggled in Tuesday's game against the Padres, allowing 7 hits and 2 walks over 4.1 innings pitched, resulting in 2 earned runs.

Fantasy Impact

Despite recording 3 strikeouts, Hill was unable to secure a win as the Pirates fell to the Padres by a final score of 5-1. This performance adds to Hill's season-long struggles, as he now has a 4.89 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP through 21 games started. His 7.7 K/9 and 2.20 strikeout-to-walk ratio indicate some positive signs, but his 4.43 FIP and high .318 BABIP suggest that he has been somewhat unlucky this season. With a record of 7 wins and 10 losses prior to this game, Hill will look to bounce back in his next outing.

Rich Hill struggled in Wednesday's game, allowing eight hits and one walk in just 5.2 innings pitched, resulting in four earned runs.

Fantasy Impact

Hill's season stats now include a 4.92 ERA, a 1.45 WHIP, and a 7-9 record in 20 games started.
