Marlins' Derek Hill: Lands on IL due to wrist sprain
The Marlins placed Hill on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left wrist sprain, retroactive to Thursday.
Hill started out the season strongly, but he has failed to record a hit in each of his last four games. Those struggles may have been due in part to his wrist injury, which is severe enough to necessitate a trip to the IL. Hill's absence should open the door for Dane Myers and Javier Sanoja to see more playing time in the outfield, though Jesus Sanchez could also shift over from designated hitter to the outfield to fill in the gap left by Hill. Graham Pauley was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Marlins' Derek Hill: On bench against lefty
Hill is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Though Arizona is sending a southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez) to the hill for the series finale, the right-handed-hitting Hill will head to the bench while Dane Myers picks up a start in center field. With the recent return of Jesus Sanchez from the injured list adding another option to a crowded outfield, Hill could end up settling for more of a part-time role after picking up starts in 11 of Miami's first 17 games of the season.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Absent from Tuesday's lineup
Hill is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Jesus Sanchez is getting the start in center field in his first game back from the injured list. It's unlikely Sanchez will be used as a full-time center fielder, but his return could eat into Hill's playing time.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Absent from lineup
Hill is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.
Hill homered and had a fantastic catch in center field in Tuesday's loss, but he'll get a breather Wednesday. Dane Myers will cover center field and bat fifth.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Smacks first homer of 2025
Hill went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Mets.
Hill took Huascar Brazoban deep for a 398-foot, two-run home run to center field in the sixth inning to reduce the Marlins' deficit to one run. Hill's best play of the game came in the bottom of the sixth frame, when he made a diving catch in center field for the third out to rob the Mets with the bases loaded. He's slashed .269/.345/.462 with two walks, two stolen bases, one home run and three RBI to start the season.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Heading to bench Monday
Hill is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.
Hill recently dealt with back tightness, but he returned to the lineup in Saturday's 4-0 win and went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base. The Marlins haven't indicated that Hill is dealing with a recurrence of the back issue, so his absence from the lineup Monday looks to be a managerial decision. Dane Myers will replace Hill in center field and will bat seventh.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Available for second straight start
Hill (back) will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Hill had been held out of the lineup for three straight games due to back tightness, but he reprised his usual role as the starting center fielder in Saturday's 4-0 win while going 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base. The 29-year-old apparently checked out fine coming out of that game, so he'll be in the lineup once again as Miami wraps up its series with Atlanta.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Still sitting Friday
Hill (back) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
It'll be the third straight absence due to back tightness for Hill, who also had extra time to rest up since the Marlins had a team day off Thursday. The 29-year-old had a .770 OPS while starting the first five games of the season, but a trip to the injured list could be in store if he's forced to miss additional time.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Out again with back tightness
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Hill remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mets due to back tightness, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Hill started the first five games of the season but has now sat out two straight with an achy back. He will be available to pinch hit Wednesday and would seem to have a good chance to return to the lineup Friday in Atlanta following the Marlins' off day Thursday. Javier Sanoja is in center field for Miami for Wednesday's series finale.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Absent from lineup
Hill is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mets.
Hill was hit by a pitch in Monday's game, but he remained in that contest, so it would appear this is just a routine day off. Dane Myers will draw the start in center field for the Marlins.

Marlins' Derek Hill: May be in lead for starting job
Hill appears to be ahead of Dane Myers in the battle for the Marlins' starting center field job, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Neither player has been lighting it up at the plate, but Hill is the more reliable defender and has shown a bit more power this spring, managing a .259/.375/.481 slash line and two homers through 32 plate appearances. Jesus Sanchez has also been getting some work in center, so there may be more than two horses in the race, but the Marlins are more comfortable with his glove in right field. Even if Hill wins the Opening Day assignment, he may not see a full-time workload, as the team tries to find ways to get both Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine into the lineup as well. Miami's outfield remains a muddle, and Hill's career .629 OPS over 476 big-league plate appearances will make him an unappealing fantasy option even if he gets significant playing time.

Marlins' Derek Hill: In mix for starting CF job
Hill is expected to compete with Dane Myers for the Marlins' starting job in center field, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Both players hit from the right side, so a traditional platoon isn't on the table, but some sort of timeshare might be the most likely outcome of the spring job battle. Hill saw action for three different big-league teams in 2024, compiling a modest .241/.271/.420 slash line between the Giants, Rangers and Marlins with seven homers and six steals in 172 plate appearances, but he has more experience in center field than Myers does and might be the more reliable defender. Victor Mesa, who once had some prospect cache in the Marlins' system and showed signs of improvement at Triple-A last year, is out of minor-league options and could also push his way into the competition with a strong spring.

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.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Not starting Saturday
Hill is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Giants.
Hill went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, one run scored and two strikeouts in Friday's 3-1 loss to San Francisco. Jesus Sanchez, Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine will man the outfield for the Marlins on Saturday.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Homers twice in win
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. The 28-year-old Hill now has three long balls in his last two games after going 17 games without a home run -- he'd gone just 13-for-62 (.210) in that span. Overall, Hill's slashing .244/.270/.444 across 142 plate appearances between the Marlins, Giants and Rangers this season with seven homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored and five stolen bases.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Resting Tuesday
Hill isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado.
Hill will take a day to collect himself Tuesday after going 3-for-20 with two RBI and seven strikeouts over his last five games. In his absence, Miami's outfield will be occupied by Jesus Sanchez, Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine.

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.
