DEREK HILL NEWS

Recalled by Tigers Hill was recalled by the Tigers on Friday.

Impact Hill missed the start of the season with a hamstring strain and was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday once his rehab stint ended. He'll get his first big-league chance of the year just one day later with Victor Reyes (quadriceps) heading to the injured list. Hill's .247/.302/.367 career slash line means he's likely to find himself stuck in a bench role.

Activated and optioned Hill (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day injured list Thursday and optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

Impact Hill had already been with Toledo while on a rehab assignment and will now remain there as a regular member of the team. He could return in a bench role eventually but may not earn much more than that, as he's hit .247/.302/.367 through 64 career major-league games.

Rehab moves to Triple-A The Tigers transferred Hill's (hamstring) rehab assignment from Low-A Lakeland to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Even though Hill went hitless with three strikeouts across his three games for Lakeland, the Tigers came away satisfied enough with how his strained right hamstring held up in the field and on the bases to advance him to a higher-level affiliate. Hill will likely play at least a couple games for Toledo before potentially returning from the Tigers' injured list this weekend. Once activated, Hill will likely replace Daz Cameron as the Tigers' fourth outfielder.

Officially lands on injured list Hill (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Hill sustained a mild hamstring strain in a spring game last week, and he'll be unavailable to begin the regular season. The move is retroactive to April 4, but it's not yet known when he'll be cleared for game action.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to begin year on injured list Manager A.J. Hinch said Saturday Hill (hamstring) will begin the regular season on the injured list, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Hill sustained a hamstring injury in Wednesday's spring game that wasn't viewed as a major concern at the time, but the issue will apparently keep him sidelined to begin the regular season. While the injury is still considered mild, the 26-year-old will be unavailable for at least the first 10 days of the 2022 campaign.

Managing hamstring injury Hill left Wednesday's Grapefruit League win over the Phillies in the ninth inning due to a hamstring injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager A.J. Hinch said Thursday that Hill will be sidelined for a couple days as a precautionary measure after his early exit Wednesday. The 26-year-old has been competing to serve as the Tigers' fourth outfielder this spring, but it's not yet clear whether his injury will affect his availability to begin the regular season.

Battling for fourth outfielder spot Hill is likely vying with Victor Reyes to be the Tigers' fourth outfielder on Opening Day, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Woodbery called it likely the closest battle in camp, so it could come down to the wire. Reyes likely has the edge since he's been a more productive MLB player to this point, but the former first-rounder Hill certainly has some untapped potential. It's also possible that both players make the roster, depending on how things shake out.

Goes deep Wednesday Hill went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

Impact Hill is working his way back after undergoing meniscus surgery in his left knee last fall. The Tigers will no doubt be cautious with him in camp, and it remains to be seen what his role will ultimately be with the team. Hill figures to be no more than a reserve outfielder to begin the season, so his fantasy value is fairly limited at this point.

MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available off bench Monday Hill (knee) is listed among the Tigers' available position players off the bench for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hill will take a seat after playing in back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday and going a collective 0-for-4 at the dish. His ability to participate in games this early in spring training implies that he's made a full recovery from the meniscus surgery he underwent on his left knee in October.

MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for surgery Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Hill (knee) will undergo meniscus cleanup surgery in California next week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Hinch suggested that Hill will likely be ready to go for spring training in 2022, but the procedure could delay the outfielder's offseason training regimen. Before being shut down Sept. 19 with a left knee sprain, Hill hit .259 with three home runs and six stolen bases across 150 plate appearances this season.
