    Rich Hill makes rehab start, could rejoin Dodgers’ rotation next week
    Rich Hill threw 75 pitches over 4-2/3 innings in a rehab start for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday night.
    The outing appears to set him up for a return to the Dodgers’ starting rotation next week during their series in Chicago.
    Ten of the 14 outs Hill recorded came on strikeouts. He allowed four hits, didn’t walk a batter and was charged with two unearned runs for the Quakes.

    EAST LOS ANGELES — A late spring zephyr rustled through the trees above Belvedere Park, muffling the sounds of a cawing crow and the hum of traffic. A man on a riding lawnmower dragged the dirt on a softball field in the distance. The baseball field was empty, save for a gray-haired man sitting silently in its metal bleachers, peering at a magazine through thick black-rimmed glasses. The man glanced up for a moment. He couldn’t find a distraction to save his life.
