The Royals are set to select pitcher Hill's contract from Triple-A Omaha for his 21st season in the major leagues. He signed a minor league contract back in May and has been actively contributing with the Omaha team. With key pitchers such as Cole Ragans and Michael Lorenzen currently injured, and Marsh missing the entire season due to a shoulder issue, Hill's experience becomes valuable. He may either make a spot start or serve as a left-handed relief option while Daniel Lynch IV is unavailable due to an elbow nerve issue.
The Royals plan to select Hill's contract from Triple-A Omaha, Robert Murray of FanSided reports, and he could pitch for them as soon as tomorrow.
Hill signed a minor league contract with Kansas City back in May, and he's been pitching with their Triple-A club all summer.
The Royals currently have Cole Ragans, and Michael Lorenzen on the injured list. Marsh hasn't pitched all season due to a shoulder impingement.
Hill has been working in Omaha's rotation and could make a spot start, or he could give manager Matt Quatraro another left-handed relief option while Lynch is on the shelf.
