The York Revolution expect to activate former major league third baseman Shea Hillenbrand after he passes his physical. Revolution Director of Baseball Operations Adam Gladstone confirmed Hillenbrand arrived in York late Monday night and will join the Revs active roster as soon as the team completes his paperwork.
Hillenbrand played in the big leagues for seven seasons, batting .284 with 108 homers and 490 RBIs. He played in the major leagues last season, suiting up for the Dodgers as recently as Sept. 20.
He has not played for a team this season but has expressed an interest to play in the Atlantic League. His arrival completes negotiations that first started weeks ago when Gladstone and then York manager Chris Hoiles called Hillenbrand to ask about his desire to play independent baseball.
