You actually can play a Hireling during combat. The rules say:

Even if you only have the
Hireling from
Munchkin and
Munchkin 3 (which don't follow the Hireling rules unless you have a set with the Hireling rules), they are not Items, so they can be played during combat as there is no restriction.
Playing a Hireling from your hand is a perfectly valid way to save one of your extra Big Items if you legally had them somehow and lost that ability.
