Hill (hand) threw on flat ground Tuesday and plans to start Friday, Jon Weisman of Dodgers Insider reports.
Hill was expected to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, but decided to be careful and play catch on flat ground. The club still intends for the 37-year-old southpaw to make his Dodgers debut Friday against the Pirates. If Hill does in fact start, it will be his first outing since July 17.
