Rich Hill returns to Major League Baseball at 44, looking to make history by playing in his 20th consecutive season. The Boston Red Sox brought him up from Triple-A Worcester due to a depleted pitching staff.

Manager Alex Cora praises Hill's physical condition and dedication to his craft. Hill's aim is to fill in wherever needed as he wears the number 44, potentially becoming one of the oldest pitchers to play for the Red Sox.

With a career spanning 13 teams and impressive stats, including 90 wins and a 4.01 ERA, Hill’s journey began with the Chicago Cubs in 2005. There are further injury updates for the Red Sox pitching staff as well.
