Hill (groin) was officially placed on the DL on Thursday, retroactive to May 30.
Hill has been nagged by a groin injury for the past week-and-a-half, keeping him off the mound since May 29. The DL move will allow the A's to bring up a temporary replacement, and Hill will be eligible to return as early as June 14, given the retroactive date. On the year, Hill holds a tidy 2.25 ERA across 64.0 innings. Prior to the groin injury, Hill had gone at least six innings into seven of his last eight starts.
