Rich Hill Returns to Majors as Oldest Active Player, Pitches for Kansas City

Veteran left-hander Rich Hill, at 45 years and 133 days old, made his return to the majors as baseball’s oldest active player in a start for Kansas City against the Cubs. In his first major league appearance since last September, Hill pitched five innings, allowing three runs (two unearned) on six hits, taking the loss in a 6-0 defeat. His outing marked his 14th MLB team, matching Edwin Jackson's record, and made him the oldest player in Royals history, surpassing Gaylord Perry.
