JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Miami Marlins’ outfielder Derek Hill will begin an injury rehabilitation assignment for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp Wednesday against the Syracuse Mets at VyStar Ballpark.

Hill was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 18 with a left wrist sprain, retroactive to April 17. He’s played in 11 games thus far in 2025 with Miami, slashing .167/.239/.286/.525, cracking three extra-base hits while driving in three.

In 2024, Hill played in 53 games between the Miami Marlins and San Francisco Giants. He slashed .241/.271/.420/.691 with seven home runs and 25 RBIs. He totaled 13 extra-base hits and scored 19 runs.

A native of Elk Grove, Calif., the Tigers selected Hill in the first round (23rd overall) of the 2014 MLB draft out of Elk Grove High School (Elk Grove, Calif.). During his first professional season in 2014, Hill split time with the GCL Tigers (Rok.) and the Connecticut Tigers (Short Season-A). He slashed .208/.296/.295/.591 with two homers and 14 RBIs.

The outfielder spent the 2015-2019 seasons with then-Low-A West Michigan, then-High-A Lakeland and Double-A Erie. He made his major league debut on September 4, 2020 for the Tigers against the Minnesota Twins. His first MLB hit came on September 26, 2020 at Kansas City.

The 2021 season saw Hill split time between Triple-A Toledo and Detroit. In 34 games with Toledo, he slashed .320/.377/.504/.881 with four home runs and 15 RBIs. In the Motor City, Hill batted .259/.313/.388/.701 with three home runs and 14 RBIs.

Between 2022-2024 the California native spent time with the Seattle Mariners, Washington Nationals, Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants organizations. He was claimed off waivers by Miami in August 2024.

Hill is the sixth Marlin to rehab in Jacksonville in 2025.
