MLB: Ranking Top 5 Pitchers Currently on Disabled List

4. Rich Hill

Rich Hill has been a mystery man ever since he made his major league debut over a decade ago. He showed great promise as a Cub early on. But injuries forced him into a reliever role, bouncing all around. Then toward the end of 2015, Hill started to resurrect his career while with Boston. He carried that over to Oakland where his success and slim ERA made him a hot trade piece at the deadline.

The Dodgers wound up being the team that made the move for the lefty, and his fall-off-the-table curve ball. When pitching, Hill has become one of the most effective pitchers going. The problem, though, has been staying in the rotation on a long-term, consistent basis.

While Hill was real good helping lead the Dodgers into the playoffs last year, it was not without struggle. Pesky blisters once again led to Hill missing time late in 2016. After re-signing a big deal with L.A. this winter, Hill was projected to be the Robin to Clayton Kershaw‘s Batman. Thus far, it has been more like the Riddler, as Hill has only made two starts before blisters placed him on the DL once again. He is projected to return within the next one to two weeks. But the question is, for how long?
