Latest on Hill via Rotoworld: Hill punched out nine while surrendering one run on just two hits over seven innings and taking a no-decision in Thursday’s win over the Diamondbacks. This was a fun little late-night pitching duel between Hill and Robbie Ray (who tied his career-high with 13 strikeouts). For his part, Hill surrendered only a solo home run to Jake Lamb in the fifth inning. Outside of that, he completely flummoxed the Diamondbacks. Not only did he strike out nine batters, he did not walk a soul. The veteran southpaw has been nothing short of brilliant in his last two starts, surrendering just one run on six hits while fanning 20 and walking one in a space of 14 frames. Hill heads into the All-Star break sporting a 3.69 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 70/29 K/BB ratio in 12 starts.
Volquez underwent an MRI due to continued discomfort in his left knee. Volquez has been on the disabled list for a week with what the Marlins have called left knee tendinitis, but they were expecting him to feel better by now. The results of the MRI aren’t in yet, but an update on the veteran righty should be available later Friday.
