Prior to Monday’s home opener against the White Sox, the Blue Jays placed injured infielder Aaron Hill on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Thursday. The second baseman has been hampered by his right hamstring.

Hill injured his hamstring making a diving play in the ninth inning of the Blue Jays’ season opener in Texas on April 5. He noticeably landed wrong and came up in pain. Hill played through some discomfort Wednesday and was then scratched from the lineup for a game against the Rangers on Thursday.

In 158 games last season, Hill hit .286 with 36 home runs and 108 RBIs to lead all MLB second baseman in both categories.
