Hill will be shut down for a week in an effort to give him ample time to recover from his groin injury, John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group reports.
Hill has apparently not shown much progress since landing on the disabled list with his groin injury, so the A's will try and see if rest helps him get healthy again. Hill will be eligible to come off the disabled list in just a few days, but with him being shut down, he is now looking at a target return date sometime later this month at the earliest.
