Hill was returned to the Nationals' minor league camp Monday, The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
After posting ERAs north of 4.50 in each of the last two seasons at Triple-A Syracuse, Hill no longer seems to be in the Nats' future plans, even as a depth bullpen arm.

Hill received an invite to major league spring training with the Nationals, The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old last pitched in the majors in 2015 and spent all of last season in the Triple-A rotation, with mediocre results. Hill's lack of velocity will likely prevent him from ever being a regular in the big leagues, but a good showing this spring could put him back in the Nats' plans should injuries open up a spot in their bullpen.

EDGE Analysis
He was designated for assignment last month, but will still receive an invite to spring training this year. The 26-year-old reliever managed a 3.75 ERA and nine strikeouts in 12 innings with the big club last year, and should once again provide organizational bullpen depth.

Hill was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Hill wasn't going to stay around for long, given that Tanner Roark was coming back in just a few days and was going to fill Hill's exact role in th bullpen. The 26-year-old will return to his starting role at Syracuse and is likely just bullpen depth for Washington in 2015.

However, the Nationals needed a roster spot, and with an impending move to the bullpen for either Tanner Roark or Joe Ross, Hill was the odd-man out of the rotation.
