Hill has been scratched from his scheduled start on Friday due to a blister, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Hill had been lined up to make the first start for the A's after the break, but now will wait for his blister to subside before taking the mound. He has been very strong so far in 2016 with a 2.25 ERA over 13 starts with a sparkling 10.7 K/9. Hill is likely to be at the center of many trade rumors for the next two weeks as the trade deadline approaches.
