Hill is out of the lineup Friday against the Padres.
The Diamondbacks have given Hill ample time to work through his season-long struggles, but he's hit just .161/.213/.232 this month and it seems his opportunities will be scaled back over the remainder of the season. He's set to sit Friday for the fourth time in 10 games, with Cliff Pennington filling in at second base.

Hill is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.
Hill missed two games already this week due to unspecified soreness, and will receive another day of rest Sunday afternoon. The 32-year-old is hitting just .175 in August, with Friday's home run representing his only extra-base hit on the month. Cliff Pennington will take over at the keystone.

Hill went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.
After batting just .182 (6-for-33) with no extra-base hits over his previous nine games, Hill came up with the biggest hit of Friday's contest. The second baseman's first-inning homer turned out to be the difference, as all five runs of the contest came in the opening frame.

Manager Kirk Gibson said Hill was held out of Thursday's lineup because he was "a little banged up," Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Gibson declined to elaborate on the specific nature of the injury, but he did acknowledge that a stint on the DL isn't a possibility. With that in mind, there would seem to be a good chance that Hill gets back into the lineup at some point over the weekend.

Hill is out of the lineup Thursday vs. the Marlins.
Hill didn't get a true day of rest Wednesday in starting one of the two games of the doubleheader with the Indians, so he'll spend Thursday's game on the bench. Cliff Pennington will cover second base in his stead.

Hill is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Indians.
Cliff Pennington will step in at second base to face Josh Tomlin in Game 2, with Hill headed to the bench for the second time in five games. Hill has posted just a .465 OPS so far in August but will likely continue to see regular time for Arizona.

Aaron Hill (hand) is expected back in the lineup on Tuesday.
Hill has missed the last two games after being hit on the right hand by a pitch Saturday, but he's feeling much better. The second baseman had heated up at the plate of late, batting .410/.442/.718 with a couple homers during a 10-game hit streak.

Aaron Hill (hand) is out of Monday's lineup against the Reds.
Hill left Saturday's game after he was hit on the right hand with a pitch and will now miss his second straight start. He is available off the bench Monday, so it sounds like he'll be ready to go soon.
