Hill on the Rubber

The Blue Jays have purchased the contract of Shawn Hill from Triple-A Las Vegas and have recalled Robert Ray, as well.

Hill is scheduled to start Thursday against Texas and, I believe, Colby Lewis. Meanwhile, Rzepczynski will start Wednesday against Derek Holland. The Jays have recalled four pitchers from Triple-A (Lewis, Roenicke, Hill and Ray), in addition the fifth spare arm they have in the bullpen from activating Purcey on September 1. This presumably spells the ends of the promotions for the expanded rosters, barring an injury. Hill will probably get the rest of Morrow's starts and, while it is not out of the question that another arm will be recalled to fill in over the last couple of weeks, it seems like Ray may get a couple of starts at the end of the year should the Jays shut down Cecil.
