Hill (blister) has been confirmed as Thursday's starter against the Diamondbacks.
The blister issues that have plagued Hill throughout the second half returned last weekend, ending his perfect-game bid after seven innings. However, the Dodgers were just playing it safe with the big picture in mind and his Thursday start was never believed to be in serious jeopardy. Hill has yet to allow an earned run in three starts since being traded from Oakland (six hits in 19 innings).
