Hill agreed to a one-year, $900,000 contract with the White Sox on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old outfielder was claimed off waivers from the Marlins during the final week of the season. Hill played in 57 games between the two clubs in 2025 and had a .216/.281/.328 slash line and 32.2 percent strikeout rate. He'll likely serve as a depth outfielder for Chicago to begin 2026.

The White Sox claimed Hill off waivers from the Marlins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hill was DFA'd by Miami earlier in the week but will spent the remaining five days of the regular season with the White Sox after the team placed Mike Tauchman (knee) on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Hill slashed .213/.275/.331 with three home runs, 10 RBI, 19 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a 9:46 BB:K across 141 plate appearances with the Marlins.

The Marlins activated Hill (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.
EDGE Analysis
Though Hill is considered fully recovered from his right hamstring strain after he completed a three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville last week, the Marlins don't have room for him on the big-league roster heading into the final week of the season. He'll give up his spot on the 40-man roster to fellow outfielder Griffin Conine (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day IL. Unless he catches on with another organization in the coming days, Hill will finish the 2025 season with a .213/.275/.331 slash line to go with three home runs, seven steals, 10 RBI and 19 runs over 141 plate appearances in the majors.

Hill (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Previous reports indicated that the right hamstring strain Hill suffered in early September would end his season, but it now appears he's got a shot to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the month. Hill's playing time had fallen off before he got hurt, and if he does make it back before the end of the season, it would likely be in a reserve role.

Miami placed Hill (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 2.
EDGE Analysis
Hill suffered a hamstring strain in Monday's game against the Nationals, and a report Wednesday indicated he'll miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign due to the issue. Friday's move opens up a spot on the active roster for Jack Winkler, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Hill is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a right hamstring strain, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill suffered the injury during Monday's game versus the Nationals and an MRI on Tuesday revealed a significant strain. The Marlins have not yet made an official roster move with Hill, but that figures to come prior to the beginning of a homestand Friday. Hill's season will conclude with a .213/.275/.331 batting line, three home runs and seven stolen bases over 53 contests.

Hill was removed from Monday's game against the Nationals in the third inning due to right hamstring discomfort, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill sustained the injury while running to first base on his lone plate appearance of the day, when he reached on a throwing error. The Marlins summoned Victor Mesa from the bench to pinch run for Hill, who could be subject to further testing on the hamstring injury before Miami determines whether he'll require a stint on the injured list.

Hill was lifted for a pinch runner in the third inning of Monday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent lower-body injury, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill went 0-for-1 but reached base on a throwing error during his lone plate appearance of the day. He appeared to have tweaked something while sprinting to first base, as the Marlins quickly summoned Victor Mesa from the bench to pinch run for him. Miami should have more details on Hill's injury later Monday.

Hill went 1-for-2 with a pinch-hit solo home run in Monday's loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old outfielder was activated from the IL earlier in the day after recovering from a finger injury, and he came off the bench to sock his third homer of the season in his 34th game. Hill's .639 OPS through 102 plate appearances is right in line with his career production, and with Jakob Marsee getting a long look in center field, there likely won't be consistent playing time available for Hill down the stretch.

The Marlins activated Hill (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hill is ready to go after missing the past two weeks of action with a sprained left middle finger. With recent call-up Jakob Marsee soaking up the playing time in center field and Dane Myers shifting over to right field, Hill might find starts hard to come by.
