Hill (5-5) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and zero walks over five innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Hill surrendered a two-run homer to outfielder Bryan Reynolds with nobody out in the first inning, but he otherwise kept Pittsburgh off the board. The 42-year-old has been vastly better on the road with a 3.44 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP in 52.1 innings compared to a 6.82 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP in 30.1 innings at home. The lefty has not been built for longevity this season as he has pitched five innings or more just eight times in 18 starts.

Hill will start Wednesday against Pittsburgh, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill's posted a 10.29 ERA in two starts off the injured list and appeared in danger of losing his spot in the rotation, but the left-hander will be given at least one more start. Josh Winckowski moves to the bullpen and will piggyback Hill against the Pirates.

Hill did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings against Atlanta. He struck out zero.

EDGE Analysis

Austin Riley got things off with a bang against Hill, with an RBI triple to score Ronald Acuna in the first inning. The Braves then tagged hill for three more runs in the third inning before manager Alex Cora pulled him from the game. Hill has now gone three straight games allowing three or more runs while failing to reach five innings and holds a 4.75 ERA on the season. He next lines up to face the Yankees this weekend.

Hill (4-5) took the loss to the Astros on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out one and walking three over three innings.

EDGE Analysis

Hill threw 40 of 58 pitches for strikes across three frames and allowed four runs thanks to a groundout, a sac fly and a two-run homer. The veteran lefty has not been sharp this year and has especially struggled in his past eight outings with a 5.12 ERA.

Hill (knee) is scheduled to start Wednesday's game in Houston, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boston activated Hill from the 15-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener, but manager Alex Cora declined to define what the veteran southpaw's role would look like upon his return. After he wasn't needed out of the bullpen either of the last two days, Hill will end up slotting back into the rotation as a replacement for Brayan Bello, who had previously been listed as Wednesday's starter. Since Hill covered only three innings and 56 pitches in his lone minor-league rehab outing prior to being activated from the IL, he could be capped at around 75 pitches Wednesday, which could make it difficult for him to factor into any decision.

Hill (knee) was activated from the 15-day injured list Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox have confirmed starters for the next few days, and it was reported earlier in the day that Hill would not start for the big club Wednesday as scheduled, so perhaps he is going to work out of the bullpen as a piggyback option for now. He gave up one run on four hits and zero walks while striking out five in three innings in his rehab outing last week.

Hill (knee) will not return to action Wednesday against the Astros, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier Monday that Hill was on track to return to action Wednesday, but it turns out he is not ready to rejoin Boston's rotation just yet. Brayan Bello will get the nod Wednesday for the Red Sox.

Hill (knee) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill had been targeting Tuesday's contest for his potential return from the IL, but the Red Sox will instead have Nathan Eovaldi and Kutter Crawford start the first two games of their series in Houston. Though he'll miss out on a two-start week as a result, Hill should be ready to take the hill for the series finale with the Astros unless he experiences an unexpected setback with his knee within the next two days. If Hill does in fact get the starting nod Wednesday, the veteran southpaw could have a limited pitch count after he covered three innings and tossed 56 pitches in his lone rehab start with Double-A Portland last week.

Hill (knee) hopes to start Tuesday's game against the Astros, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill has been sidelined since early July due to a knee injury, but he made a rehab start at Double-A Portland on Thursday and allowed a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in three innings. If the southpaw is cleared to return from the injured list to make Tuesday's start, he'll likely have his pitch count monitored since he tossed just 56 pitches during Thursday's rehab outing.

Hill (knee) allowed one run on four hits and struck out five over three innings for Double-A Portland on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hill was scheduled to go four innings, per Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican, in what was likely the first of multiple rehab starts. The left-hander threw 56 pitches and would seemingly need at least one more outing to build up his pitch count ahead of a return to the Boston rotation.
