The Oakland A's have placed left-handed starting pitcher Rich Hill on the disabled list, retroactive to July 20. Hill came out of his start on July 17 after just five pitches due to the presence of a blister on the middle finger of his left hand.

Hill commented on improvement, but mentioned the finger feeling "hot" after throwing a bullpen session on Friday.

The 36-year old Hill is 9-3 with a 2.25 ERA this season. Sonny Gray will fill Hill's spot in the rotation on Sunday as the A's face the Cleveland Indians.
