Rich Hill has left Wednesday’s matchup with the Giants due to an apparent injury.

Something wrong with Rich Hill. Out comes Dave Roberts and a trainer.

Trainers checked on Hill and he was immediately taken out of the game after just 15 pitches.

Hill has been a major stabilizer of the Dodgers’ pitching staff, putting together a solid 2.60 ERA on the season across 52 innings.

Rich Hill is leaving the game in the 2nd inning. Could this be another blister situation. This is now officially a bullpen game again for the #Dodgers

A report came out later on that it was not his fingers/blisters, it was his forearm:

Being now told it’s left forearm discomfort, not tightness, for Rich Hill.

UPDATE: After some back and forth on the word of choice to describe Hill’s elbow/forearm issue, he got better news after the game.

Rich Hill said he got an ultrasound and there is no ligament (UCL) damage. Felt forearm tightness and thinks it might be a strain. #Dodgers

He is expected to hit the Injured List on Thursday.
