Giants' Derek Hill: Joins active roster
The Giants activated Hill on Wednesday.
San Francisco claimed Hill off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday, and he'll now officially join the MLB roster, replacing Luis Matos. The 28-year-old Hill slashed .256/.289/.465 with three homers and five RBI in 45 plate appearances during his time with Texas and played all three outfield positions after working exclusively as a center fielder in past seasons.

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: Designated for assignment
Hill was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday.
Hill will now be placed on waivers and if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely report to Triple-A Round Rock. The 28-year-old compiled a .256 average with three home runs, five RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases over 43 at-bats after being called up to the major-league roster May 21.

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.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Joining roster, in lineup Wednesday
The Rangers selected Hill's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.
Hill was outrighted off the 40-man roster following a brief stint in the majors earlier this season, but he's back with the big club and will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday in Milwaukee. The 28-year-old sports a career .591 OPS over parts of five major-league seasons.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Outrighted to Triple-A
The Rangers outrighted Hill to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
While no longer on the Rangers' 40-man roster, Hill will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The outfielder went 2-for-9 at the plate during his brief stint in the big leagues earlier this season.

Rangers' Derek Hill: DFA'd by Texas
The Rangers designated Hill for assignment Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
With Texas opting to keep Corey Seager (hamstring) off the IL, Davis Wendzel was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move to provide infield depth. 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. Hill will weigh his options and could opt for free agency should he clear waivers.

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.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Called up and starting
Hill had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday. He's batting eighth and playing right field against the Phillies.
Hill will fill a depth role in the outfield for the Rangers, taking the roster spot of pitcher Austin Pruitt (knee) who was moved to the 60-day injured list. With Adolis Garcia (forearm) banged up and sitting Tuesday, Hill will slot into the starting lineup for his 2024 debut.

Rangers' Derek Hill: Gets NRI from Texas
Hill signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Hill draws positive reviews for his defense in center field but has slashed just .229/.279/.314 over 304 plate appearances at the major-league level. He'll turn 28 later this week and is a good bet to begin the 2024 campaign at Triple-A Round Rock.

Derek Hill: Elects to leave Nats organization
Hill elected to become a free agent Monday.
Hill played in only 13 major-league games with the Nationals this season and heads to the open market with a weak .229/.279/.314 career big-league batting line in 304 plate appearances. The 27-year-old outfielder will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract this winter.

Nationals' Derek Hill: Remains in organization
Hill accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Hill was designated for assignment on Wednesday and went unclaimed off waivers. He had the option to become a free agent but will remain in the Nationals' organization to await his next opportunity. The 27-year-old has hit .229/.279/.314 in 108 career games, so he's unlikely to fill a significant role if he returns to the big club.

Nationals' Derek Hill: Scrubbed from 40-man roster
The Nationals designated Hill for assignment Wednesday.
Washington will pull the plug on Hill as its everyday center fielder after a roughly two-week stint atop the depth chart following Victor Robles' (back) move to the 10-day injured list. Though he's regarded as a strong defender in center, Hill mustered a lowly .170/.220/.191 slash line across 50 plate appearances with the Nationals following his promotion from Triple-A Rochester. The Nationals recalled Alex Call from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and he'll presumably take on a regular role in center sans Hill and Robles.

Nationals' Derek Hill: Serving as primary center fielder
Hill will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Since being called up from Triple-A Rochester on June 21, Hill has started in each of the Nationals' subsequent 10 games, but he's slashed a woeful .132/.175/.158 over 40 plate appearances. Despite Hill's ongoing struggles at the dish, the elite defense he brings in center field looks as though it'll be enough for him to stick in Washington's everyday lineup while Victor Robles (back) is on the injured list.

Nationals' Derek Hill: Brought up from Triple-A
Washington selected Hill's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports. He'll start in center field and bat eighth in his team debut Wednesday against the Cardinals.
Hill has played well for Rochester in 2023 with a .320 average, eight home runs, 11 stolen bases and a .903 OPS over his 194 at-bats. The 27-year-old replaces Victor Robles on the 26-man active roster after Robles was placed on the 10-day injured list with back spasms in his lumbar spine.

Nationals' Derek Hill: Reinstated from injured list
Hill (hamstring) was reinstated from the minor-league injured list Tuesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
After suffering a hamstring strain early in spring training, Hill will return to Triple-A Rochester's lineup. The 27-year-old outfielder went 3-for-12 during his rehab assignment in High-A, and he slashed .229/.296/.401 across 255 plate appearances in Triple-A last season.

Nationals' Derek Hill: Sent out of MLB camp
The Nationals reassigned Hill (hamstring) on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Hill's departure from big-league camp comes as little surprise after he strained his hamstring last week and would have been challenged to make a full recovery in time for Opening Day. Once healthy, Hill is expected to report to Triple-A Rochester, though he could explore his options in another organization if he doesn't envision a clear path to a big-league call-up in 2023.

Nationals' Derek Hill: Nursing hamstring strain
Hill (hamstring) has a Grade 1-2 strain in his right hamstring, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
Manager Davey Martinez gave no timetable for Hill's return, but it's safe to assume the outfielder will miss at least a few weeks. Hill might have been a long shot to make the roster anyway, considering his .229/.270/.289 slash line in 92 plate appearances for Detroit last season, and this injury significantly hurts his chances.
