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.

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.
