Marlins' Derek Hill: Activated from IL
The Marlins activated Hill (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Hill missed the previous two weeks of action with an impingement in his left (non-throwing) shoulder but has been cleared to return after playing two rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 28-year-old was receiving regular run in the outfield prior to getting hurt, but the Marlins figure to prioritize Jesus Sanchez, Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine over Hill down the stretch.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Facing live pitching
Hill (shoulder) has progressed to hitting in live batting practice at the Marlins' facility in Jupiter, Fla., MLB.com reports.
Though Hill was placed on the 10-day injured list Sept. 5 with a left shoulder impingement, manager Skip Schumaker said that the 28-year-old was fully cleared to play the outfield and run the bases. Swinging the bat was a concern, however, but Hill seems to have cleared a major hurdle in his recovery from the injury by taking live BP. Hill could be a candidate to return from the IL at some point during the Marlins' final homestand of the season, which concludes Sunday.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Placed on injured list
The Marlins placed Hill on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left shoulder impingement.
Hill hasn't registered a plate appearance since last Sunday, and he's now due to miss at least another eight days as he recovers from his shoulder injury. Javier Sanoja was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and may have an opportunity to work as Miami's fourth outfielder while Hill is out.

Hill went 3-for-6 with two home runs and three total RBI in Thursday's 12-8 victory over the Rockies.
Hill led off the second inning with a solo shot off Bradley Blalock to open the scoring before launching a 420-foot, two-run homer off Noah Davis in the sixth.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Making sixth straight start
Hill will bat eighth as Miami's designated hitter Sunday against the Padres.
Hill will pick up his sixth straight start after going 5-for-19 with a double, a home run, two steals and nine RBI since being claimed off waivers by the Marlins last week. The 28-year-old will likely need to continue producing in order to retain the lineup spot, but for now, he's settled into a regular role.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Belts first career grand slam
Hill went 1-for-3 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Reds.
The journeyman outfielder got hold of an Andrew Abbott fastball in the first inning and lofted it over the fence in right-center field, providing the Marlins a 5-0 lead and giving Hill his first career grand slam. He was getting the start in left field and batting sixth, and for now he appears to be working the short side of a platoon with Kyle Stowers. Hill can handle center field defensively though, and if he gets hot at the plate, there should be playing time available for him as Miami sorts through its roster options for 2025. While the 28-year-old has yet to find much success in the majors, Hill has a career .300/.360/.502 slash line in 932 plate appearance at Triple-A with 30 homers and 35 steals.

Giants' Derek Hill: Claimed by Giants
Hill was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Hill was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday, but it didn't take long for him to find a new home in San Francisco. The outfielder is immediately added to the Giants' 40-man roster, though it's unclear if he'll report to the major-league roster or Triple-A Sacramento. Hill produced a .256 average with three home runs, five RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases over 43 at-bats in 16 games with Texas this season.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Two more homers Sunday
Hill went 2-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and a walk in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Orioles.
Hill opened up the scoring with a two-run blast in the second and later added on with a solo shot in the fifth. He's now started four of five games since returning to the majors Wednesday and has gone 5-for-14 with three homers and four RBI. Prior to this mini outburst, the 28-year-old had just four home runs in 289 career major league at-bats. Three of the four games Hill has started have come against lefty starters, but the Rangers don't project to face any lefties this week, so it remains to be seen how much the righty-hitting center fielder will play in the short term.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Smacks homer in loss
Hill went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.
Hill briefly put the Rangers ahead 2-1 when he took Cade Povich deep in the fifth inning. Hill has hit safely in each of his three games since he was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, though he's also struck out four times over 10 plate appearances in that span. He's hitting .263 (5-for-19) with two stolen bases in the majors this year, and he's likely to function as a fourth outfielder as long as he's up with the Rangers.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Collects hit in return to majors
Hill started in center field and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.
Hill was part of a roster shakeup Wednesday; he replaced Ezequiel Duran, who was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock. Rangers general manager Chris Young is trying to right the ship of the 2023 World Series champs. "It'll be performance-driven," Young told Kenndi Landry of MLB.com. "The reality is that anybody who is performing in Triple-A, there will be an opportunity here and we're gonna go with the team that helps us win games, the guys who are hot." Hill slashed .351/.416/.617 over 42 games at Round Rock and seemingly will be given an opportunity to dig the Rangers out of a hole, though he didn't help himself Wednesday as an ill-advised dive in the outfield led to an inside-the-park homer for Jackson Chourio.

Hill was called up from Round Rock on May 21. He appeared in five games for the Rangers, going 2-for-9 with one run and one stolen base over that span.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Produces in debut
Hill went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Phillies.
Hill had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday and started in place of right fielder Adolis Garcia (forearm). The newest Ranger delivered a single in his first at-bat then stole second base before Marcus Semien plated him with a double. Garcia had an MRI, which came back "pretty good," manager Bruce Bochy told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, which suggests Hill's window of opportunity will be a brief one.
