Hill (hand) will not make his scheduled start Sunday against the Indians, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
This marks yet another setback for Hill as he tries to work his way around a blister on one of the fingers on his pitching hand. The blister burst in his start back on July 17 and there appeared to be more complications Friday. Hill threw a long toss session in Cleveland but he only lasted a little while before the training staff came out to check on his finger. The training staff ultimately pulled the plug on Hill starting Sunday, marking another frustrating development for the veteran lefty right before the trade deadline. The A's have not provided a timetable for a potential return for Hill and Sonny Gray will start in his place Sunday.
