Rich Hill’s latest stint in MLB was short-lived. After making two starts for the Kansas City Royals since his call-up on July 21, the former Michigan pitcher was designated for assignment by the team on Tuesday. Kansas City was his 14th major league team, tying Edwin Jackson’s MLB record.
Hill is 90-74 with a 4.01 ERA in 368 career MLB games. He has pitched 1,409 innings and has struck out 1,428. In corresponding moves, the Royals optioned right-hander Andrew Hoffman to Omaha and designated outfielder Tyler Gentry for assignment.
