Hill signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Feb. 15.
EDGE Analysis
Hill hasn't seen any major-league action since the 2023 season with Detroit, posting a 9.19 ERA and 2.11 WHIP with a 14:14 K:BB across 15.2 relief innings. He's a low-risk signing for the Mariners and will presumably begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Tacoma.

Triple-A Toledo reinstated Hill (lat) from its 7-day injured list May 23 and assigned him to Double-A Erie.
EDGE Analysis
Hill attended big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee but never built much momentum for a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen after suffering a right lat strain in mid-February. He remained out of action until he started an extended rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on April 12. Over 13 outings with Lakeland spanning 17.2 innings, Hill posted a 5.60 ERA and 1.64 WHIP before he was cleared to head to Erie. He debuted for the Double-A affiliate Friday, giving up two unearned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two over one inning out of the bullpen.

Hill (lat) was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Tigers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hill has been dealing with a lat strain since mid-February, which has interrupted his spring training routine. The righty will now look to get healthy in the minors before potentially returning to Detroit as a bullpen option at some point. Hill made 26 appearances for the Tigers over the last two seasons, including eight starts, and has a career 5.09 ERA.

Hill was diagnosed Wednesday with a mild right lat strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill felt discomfort during a bullpen session last week and will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days. The right-hander is in camp as a non-roster invitee, and the injury probably ruins any chance he had of cracking the Opening Day roster.

The Tigers re-signed Hill to a minor-league contract Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Hill was non-tendered by Detroit earlier this month but will remain in the organization. It's not clear whether he was given an invitation to the major-league side of spring training as part of the deal. Hill was torched for 20 runs (16 earned) over 15.2 major-league innings in 2023.

Hill became a free agent Friday after being non-tendered by Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Hill, 27, was lit up for 20 runs -- 16 earned -- over 15.2 major-league innings in 2023 and also struggled to a 6.02 ERA in 46.1 innings with Triple-A Toledo. He'll likely have to accept a minor-league deal in free agency.

Hill was called up by Detroit on Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill will give the Tigers an extra arm in the bullpen after the unit was tasked with tossing 6.2 frames Friday. Joey Wentz, the ineffective starter in Friday's contest, was optioned in a corresponding move.

Detroit optioned Hill to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old right-hander heads back to the farm to clear out a 26-man roster spot for Joey Wentz, who is expected to serve as the Tigers' bulk pitcher Wednesday versus the Yankees. Hill has been lit up for 20 runs -- 16 earned -- in 15.2 big-league innings this season.

Hill was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill has a 9.88 ERA over 13.2 big-league frames this season but has been in the minors since early July. The 27-year-old also hasn't been particularly effective at Triple-A this year with a 4.54 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 53:25 K:BB over 37.2 innings.

The Tigers optioned Hill to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Hill will return to the minors to make room for Eduardo Rodriguez (finger), who will return from the injured list and start Wednesday. Hill made one appearance after getting called up June 28, allowing four earned runs across two innings, and he holds a 9.88 ERA and 2.20 WHIP through 13.2 frames.
