The Boston Red Sox made headlines by signing pitcher Rich Hill on Aug. 17, marking his return to the team for an eighth time.
After a break to coach youth baseball, Hill became the oldest active player in Major League Baseball at 44 years old. However, his feel-good return was short-lived as the Red Sox designated him for assignment after only four games, signaling the end of his latest stint with the organization.
In his place, the Red Sox called up right-handed pitcher Luis Guerrero to join the major league squad.
