Dodgers' Hill tried to heal blister by peeing on hand
Neville E. Guard / USA TODAY Sports
Rich Hill was desperate.
The Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander has been dealing with a blister on his throwing hand all season, dating back to his time with the Oakland Athletics.
Blisters can develop on a pitcher's fingers due to certain grips they have on the ball. At one point this season, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled Hill from a perfect game because the training staff saw a few spots on his hand that could develop into blisters.
Hill told reporters Friday that he tried just about everything to fix the issue.
Rich Hill said he heard and tried many remedies to help his blister, including urine. "You might as well try."
