Veteran Rich Hill, 45, called up by Royals, set to become oldest active MLB player and tie record for 14 teams

Left-handed pitcher Rich Hill, 45, is being called up from Triple-A Omaha by the Kansas City Royals to start against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. This move makes him the oldest active player in Major League Baseball and will mark his 14th team, tying Edwin Jackson's MLB record. Hill, who was 4-4 with a 5.36 ERA in nine Triple-A starts, will be the oldest pitcher to start an MLB game since Jamie Moyer in 2012 and the oldest player in Royals history.
