Red Sox designate Rich Hill, 44, for assignment, call up Luis Guerrero

• Associated Press

BOSTON -- Rich Hill , the only player to appear in a major league game in each of the last 20 seasons, was designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox on Friday.

The 44-year-old left-hander recorded four outs for Boston on Aug. 29 in a 2-0 loss to Toronto in his first appearance of the season. He pitched in four games for the Red Sox, allowing two runs in 3 2/3 innings.

Hill has a 4.01 ERA in 386 major league games in a career that started in 2002, when he was selected in the fourth round of the first year player draft by the Chicago Cubs .

Boston recalled 24-year-old right-handed pitcher Luis Guerrero to take Hill's roster spot.

"Tough one," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of the club's decision on Hill. "He's going to be a Red Sox for life, but I think it's smart for us to start getting guys here who can contribute for the future."

In his career, Hill pitched for 13 teams, posting a 90-74 record with 1,428 strikeouts over 1,409 innings.

Hill and the late Tim Wakefield are the only pitchers to appear in a game for the Red Sox at 44 or older. Wakefield was 45.

Born in Boston, Hill made his big league debut with the Cubs in 2005.

Hill appropriately wore No. 44 in his latest stint with the Red Sox, the fourth of his career. They signed him to a minor league deal on Aug. 16.

He also pitched for Pittsburgh, San Diego, Baltimore, Cleveland, Oakland, Tampa Bay, the Angels, Yankees, Dodgers, Twins and Mets.

He's one short of Edwin Jackson's record of playing for the most MLB clubs.

Toronto Blue Jays Star Issues Major Declaration About Future as Huge Offseason Looms

Brady farkas | 3 hours ago.

• Toronto Blue Jays

Amid all the speculation about his future contract and a possible trade this offseason, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette has spoken.

According to Sportsnet, Bichette says he wants to stay in Toronto and that he wants to continue playing with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

“When I had time to think about what I want, basically, my ultimate goal really is to play with Vladdy (Guerrero Jr.) forever, to win a championship with him and to do that with this organization,” the two-time all-star shortstop said during an interview at Truist Park before heading out for a rehab assignment with triple-A Buffalo that starts Tuesday. “I'm 100 per cent committed to doing whatever it takes to accomplish those things. That's where I'm at.”

Bo Bichette tells our @ShiDavidi “I want to win, first off... with Vladdy, for this organization.” https://t.co/zXOvlKXmqx — Hazel Mae (@thehazelmae) September 9, 2024

Rumors have circulated that Bichette isn't going to sign back in Toronto when his contract is up after the 2025 season. If that were to be true, the Jays could look at trading him this upcoming offseason, but Bichette sounds pretty resolute in his desire to stay.

As the article indicates, the Jays are facing a massive offseason. If they choose to extend Guerrero Jr. and Bichette, it will be for the two biggest contracts in franchise history. Guerrero could easily make north of $350 million, while Bichette can figure to get at least $175 or $200 million. If they trade one of them, they are facing huge potential backlash from fans. If they elect not to re-sign them now, they are running the risk of seeing them walk after the 2025 season.

This has been a terrible season for Bichette, who has played just 80 games because of injury. He's hitting only .222 with four homers as well. Guerrero Jr. was named an All-Star and is likely to finish in the top ten of American League MVP voting. Bichette is hoping to make it back from his calf injury before the end of the year.

Red Sox infielder Bobby Dalbec designated for assignment

Bobby Dalbec appeared to have a promising future with the Red Sox when he belted 33 home runs and drove in 94 runs over 156 games from 2020-21.

But the 29-year-old infielder was designated for assignment on Sunday, that promise undone by an avalanche of strikeouts.

Dalbec was dropped from the 40-man roster to open a space for rookie righthander Richard Fitts , who allowed two unearned runs over 5⅔ innings in a 7-2 loss against the White Sox .

Dalbec is not eligible to be traded. But he could be claimed off waivers or become a free agent if the Red Sox release him.

A fresh start with another organization might be for the best. Dalbec has hit .198 with 189 strikeouts in 499 plate appearances (38 percent) over 175 major league games the last three seasons.

Dalbec hit .127 in 37 games for the Sox this season with one home run. He was demoted to Triple A Worcester in June.

“If you look at the swing-and-miss percentages, it’s up there,” Sox manager Alex Cora said.

“But he’s still a good player. Good defender; has some pop. He’s a good athlete so we’ll see what happens in the upcoming days.”

Dalbec, a fourth-round draft pick out of the University of Arizona in 2016, hit .256 with an .833 OPS and 19 homers in 85 games for the WooSox this season.

Boggs has cancer

Hall of Famer Wade Boggs , 66, has prostate cancer. He made the announcement via social media on Saturday.

“I’ve never been a goal oriented person but with the strength and support of my family and my faith in God I’m going to ring that damn bell,” Boggs wrote on X, referring to the ritual cancer patients have when their treatment is finished.

Boggs remains scheduled to be at Fenway Park on Sept. 21 to be inducted into the Irish American Baseball Hall of Fame.

Houck pushed back

Tanner Houck will get three extra days of rest and not start until Friday against the Yankees in New York. He came out of his start against the Mets on Wednesday with more than the usual soreness.

“He’s doing OK. Just giving him a blow here,” Cora said. “He feels actually better [Sunday].”

Houck is 8-10 with a 3.24 ERA. He leads the Sox with 169⅔ innings — 63⅔ more than last season.

The Sox will start Brayan Bello , Kutter Crawford , and Nick Pivetta against the Orioles in the series that starts on Monday.

Guerrero debuts

Luis Guerrero, a 24-year-old righthander, made his major league debut and retired both batters he faced in the ninth inning. Guerrero is from the Dominican Republic, but grew up in Boston, and was a 17th-round draft pick in 2021 . . . Liam Hendriks has pitched in one minor league game over the last nine days but still believes he will return this season. The righthander said his next few outings could be live batting practice sessions where his workload can be better controlled. Hendriks said it’s important to him to get into a few games before the season ends . . . Trevor Story batted eighth for the first time since Sept. 1, 2017, his second season in the majors. He was 1 for 3 and is 2 for 7 in two games since coming off the injured list. The plan is to hit him lower in the order given the long layoff . . . David Ortiz was at Fenway Park on Saturday and told Wilyer Abreu to consider cutting down on how hard he swings to gain more control of the bat. That was an adjustment he made in his career that paid off. Abreu is 2 for 5 with a double and a homer since that discussion. Ortiz told Abreu they would work together in spring training next season . . . Mike Gorman , who retired after 43 years of calling Celtics games on television, threw out the first pitch.
