Hill (groin) has been scratched from his next scheduled start on Saturday against the Reds after suffering a setback during a bullpen session, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday.
This is concerning news for Hill as this marks the second time in a row he's had his turn skipped in the rotation due to a groin issue. According to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle, Hill suffered the setback at the very end of his bullpen session Wednesday and said that it felt very similar to when he initially suffered the injury on May 29. The A's will now need to find a spot starter for Saturday and possibly beyond in the event that Hill's MRI reveals a significant injury. More information on Hill's outlook figures to be made available following Thursday's MRI.
