Exits after collision Hill was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mariners with a right shoulder sprain after crashing into the outfield wall, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hill made a great running catch in center, but was shaken up after his right shoulder impacted the wall. Akil Baddoo entered the game to replace Hill. It's unclear how much time Hill will miss, or if he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Collects two hits in win Hill went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
Impact Appearing in his sixth game of the season, Hill delivered his first multi-hit performance. The team recently designated JaCoby Jones for assignment, so there's an opportunity for Hill to earn more regular playing time in center field. His primary competition at the moment seems to be Akil Baddoo, and neither player has a particularly lengthy MLB track record, so they could each get some time for the rebuilding Tigers.

Detroit Tigers OF Derek Hill recalled from Triple-A Toledo; Victor Reyes to injured list Derek Hill's results in Triple-A Toledo were too good for the Tigers not to put him next in line for a call to the major leagues.
JUNE 3, 2021 • FREEP.COM
Recalled by Tigers Hill was recalled by the Tigers on Thursday.
Impact Hill saw action in two games for the Tigers in late April but struck out in his lone plate appearance. The 25-year-old has looked good in 21 Triple-A games this season, hitting .355/.417/.526 with two homers and four steals. He'll likely fill a bench role during his time with the team. Victor Reyes (intercostal) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Back to alternate site Hill was returned to the alternate site after Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
Impact Hill was recalled as the 27th man and entered as a pinch-runner in the latter contest. This was his first stint with the big-league club this season, and he figures to serve primarily as organizational depth in the outfield throughout the campaign.

Called up for doubleheader Hill was recalled from the Tigers' alternate training site ahead of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
Impact Hill was named the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader, so he'll likely return to the alternate training site after the twin bill. The 25-year-old appeared in 15 games for the Tigers last year and went 1-for-11 with three runs, a walk and six strikeouts.

Returns to alternate site Hill was optioned to the alternate training site after Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
Impact Hill was recalled as the 27th man for the twin bill and made his first appearance of the season as a defensive replacement during the nightcap. Hill figures to be in the mix for another promotion when Detroit needs outfield depth later in the season.

Up for second game of twin bill The Tigers recalled Hill from their alternate training site prior to the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates.
Impact He'll be designated as the 27th man and will most likely be headed back to the alternate site following the twin bill. Hill brings elite defense in center field, but he struggled at the plate in his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, going 1-for-11 with six strikeouts.

Optioned to Triple-A Hill was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
Impact Hill had been competing for at most a bench spot in the Tigers' outfield. He has good speed and a solid glove but hasn't been much of a threat at the plate throughout his professional career, posting a career .243/.313/.349 line in the minors before going 1-for-11 with six strikeouts in his brief big-league debut last season.
MARCH 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Looking good so far Detroit manager A.J. Hinch has been impressed with Hill's performance during spring training, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 2014 first-round pick is known more for his defense, but he's slashing a solid .308/.400/.462 so far in Grapefruit League play. "We know what we're going to get defensively. We know he's going to run the bases," Hinch said. "The offensive production, it's been good." Hill is still likely a long shot to make the Opening Day roster with the likes of JaCoby Jones, Robbie Grossman, Victor Reyes, Nomar Mazara and Akil Baddoo all around. However, Hill could be a call-up option at some point this season if he continues to hit.
