Hill looked good in his start on Wednesday night, throwing four scoreless innings against Team Japan, the number-one ranked team in the tournament. The 44-year-old allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings out of the bullpen for the Red Sox in 2024 and will hope that another team gives him a chance to prove himself.

Team USA, managed by Mike Scioscia, will play in Mexico from Nov. 9-14. If it advances out of the group stage, the Super Round will take part in Tokyo from Nov. 21-24. Touki Toussaint, Dan Altavilla, Dylan Covey and Anthony Gose are among the other major league veterans on the roster. Top prospects include Carson Williams (Rays), Matt Shaw (Cubs), Termarr Johnson (Pirates), Justin Crawford (Phillies) and Drake Baldwin (Braves).

There’s been nothing from Hill since the move to DFA him about whether he’ll try to find another team right away. He made just four appearances for Boston and allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings.

That was quick. The 44-year-old made only four appearances for Boston in the 20th season of his career. He allowed two earned runs and struck out five in 3 2/3 innings. This could be it for Hill, who’s likely to clear waivers and unlikely to accept a minor league assignment with Boston.
