Lets up three runs in three frames Hill covered three innings and gave up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Nationals, a game New York and Washington resum...

Impact Fantasy managers who kept Hill active this week were dealt a tough hand when Tuesday's series opener versus Washington was suspended in the second inning due to inclement weather. Rather than having Hill start the game originally scheduled for Wednesday -- which was later postponed to Thursday -- the Mets turned to him to take the hill for the resumption of Tuesday's contest. Hill was already facing an uphill battle to pick up the win due to the game resuming with the Mets trailing 3-1, and though New York was able to overcome a pair of three-run deficits Wednesday, the team didn't take the lead until after Hill departed the contest. The veteran southpaw has largely underwhelmed since being traded to the Mets on July 23, posting a 5.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 18 innings across four outings.

Starting suspended game Hill will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, which will pick up in the second inning after the contest was suspended Tuesda...

Impact The Mets initially planned on having Marcus Stroman take the hill for the suspended contest, but he'll instead swap spots in the pitching schedule with Hill and start the originally scheduled game in the nightcap. Hill's projected workload shouldn't change as a result of being moved to the suspended contest, but because the Nationals were up 3-1 before the game was postponed, he'll be at an immediate disadvantage when it comes to qualifying for a potential win.

Start pushed to Thursday Hill will start Thursday against the Nationals rather than Wednesday as previously expected, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact The Mets are opting to swap Hill and Stroman's start days in order to keep the latter on normal rest. The shuffle sets Hill up to take the ball on six days of rest after allowing just one unearned run across five innings in his previous outing against Miami.

Solid in no-decision Hill allowed one run (unearned) on three hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings during Thursday's loss to the Marlins. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Rich's only run allowed was unearned due to an error by Michael Conforto. Otherwise, Hill turned in his best outing since being acquired from Tampa Bay. As a Met, the lefty has registered no-decisions in his first three starts, allowing six earned runs over 15 innings thus far. Overall this season, Hill has put together a 3.92 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. The 41-year-old is projected to make his next start at home next week against the Nationals.

This Week in Mets, Guest Edition: Welcome to the days of Rich Hill and Tylor Megill  Rich Hill, acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, made his first Mets start Sunday in a 5-4 victory over Toronto.

JULY 26, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Allows three runs in team debut Hill yielded three runs on three runs on five hits and two walks over five innings in Sunday's win over Toronto. He struck out one and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Hill dealt five shutout innings before running into trouble in the sixth. He was removed after putting the first three batters on base and was charged with three runs when they all came around to score. The veteran lefty threw just 62 pitches (39 strikes) before turning the ball over to the bullpen. Hill is now sporting a 3.95 ERA with a 92:38 K:BB through 100.1 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Reds at home next weekend.
