Aaron Hill had a two-run homer and an RBI double to pace the Diamondbacks offense on Friday.
After struggling in the No. 2 spot in the lineup for 19 games, Hill has hit .300 with five RBI in five games as a No. 5 hitter. He'll probably stay there for a while, which isn't very good news for his fantasy value. Then again, that he hits is more important than where he hits.

Aaron Hill finished 4-for-5 with two RBI in the Diamondbacks' 7-5 comeback win over the Cubs on Wednesday in the 100th anniversary game at Wrigley Field.
Hill's two-run blooper to right field in the top of the ninth inning put the D'Backs ahead for good. It was part of a five-run rally against the Chicago bullpen that quickly lifted Arizona out of a 5-2 deficit. Hill is batting just .240/.284/.385 on the season, but he is capable of getting hot in a hurry. The D'Backs are now 6-18 in 2014.

Aaron Hill singled in two runs in the top of the 12th to lead the Diamondbacks to a 4-2 win over the Dodgers on Friday.
The Diamondbacks went ahead in the ninth when Chris Withrow threw a wild pitch on an attempted intentional walk of Martin Prado, allowing the go-ahead run to score from third. The good times were short-lived, though, as Juan Uribe homered off Addison Reed in the bottom of the ninth to tie it. That was all for the scoring until the 12th, when Hill delivered the big hit. It was his lone knock in six at-bats for the game.

Aaron Hill singled, doubled, and scored a run in three at-bats against the Cubs on Wednesday.
Hill raised his Cactus League average to .326 in 43 at-bats. Hill suffered a broken hand last season, but seems ready to go with a fresh slate. If he can stay healthy, he should rank among the game's premier power-hitting second basemen once again.

Aaron Hill will not undergo surgery to repair his fractured left hand.
Hill broke the hand back on April 9 and returned to action two months later even though the bone hadn't shown any healing. "They said it's like 80 percent healed," said Hill. "In the last two months, it's decided to heal. My last MRI, I think it was two months ago, nothing had changed. (Hand specialist Dr. Don Sheridan) called me yesterday and said, 'You won't believe this!' We didn't want to do surgery anyway, and now this definitely confirms that we won't. I was happy to hear that yesterday."

Aaron Hill delivered a game-winning hit in the bottom of the 10th as the Diamondbacks topped the Padres 10-9 on Tuesday.
Hill shot to the gap probably would have been a double under normal circumstances, though perhaps the center fielder would have run it down if he hadn't been playing in with the winning run on third. Regardless, it got the job done and denied the Padres on a night when Bud Black made 83 position switches. It was Hill's first game back after he missed two starts with a groin injury.

Aaron Hill is expected to sit out Sunday due to a hip/groin issue.
Hill evidently suffered the injury at some point during Saturday's 18-inning marathon. It's not clear if the malady might force him to miss more than just the one game.

Aaron Hill had a game-tying single in the ninth and a game-winning single in the 14th as the Diamondbacks beat the Orioles 5-4 on Wednesday.
Hill's ninth-inning hit off Jim Johnson came after Paul Goldschmidt was intentionally walked, putting the winning run on base. In the 14th, Goldschmidt struck out with two on, giving Hill another chance to be the hero. It was Hill's sixth multihit game in his last seven starts. He's hitting .391 with three homers and 12 RBI in 11 games this month.
