Derek Hill Starts Hitting Progression
Derek Hill (wrist) began a hitting progression on Monday, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Hill is making progress after landing on the 10-day injured list three weeks ago with a left-wrist sprain. The 29-year-old will most likely be required to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the big-league roster, hopefully before the mid-July All-Star break. The former first-rounder by the Detroit Tigers in 2014 played in 23 games this year before his injury, going 17-for-73 (.233) with two home runs, four doubles, five RBI, 11 runs scored and six stolen bases. Hill won't be guaranteed regular playing time in Miami when he returns from the IL after striking out over 30% of the time with the Marlins, Rangers and Giants in 2024. At best, he'll be an option in NL-only leagues for his speed.
