Hill (groin) will not start Sunday against the Astros, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
Hill was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday, but manager Bob Melvin did allude to the possibility of the veteran lefty taking the mound for the series finale Sunday. However, the A's will be cautious with Hill and skip his turn in the rotation completely. Hill is set to rest Saturday and play catch Sunday before the club makes a decision on when he will start next. Sunday's starter for the A's is still undecided.
