Hill, 28, was placed on waivers Friday after he went 3-for-12 during a brief stint in San Francisco, who claimed him July 23. In 21 games with the Texas Rangers and Giants this season, Hill is batting .255 with three home runs and seven RBIs.
A former first-round draft pick (23rd overall) by the Detroit Tigers in 2014, Hill is a career .233 hitter in parts of five seasons with seven home runs and 25 RBIs in 129 games for the Tigers (2020-22), Washington Nationals (2023), Rangers and Giants.
Also Saturday, the Marlins optioned second baseman Forrest Wall to Triple-A Jacksonville. Wall was 1-for-3 in three games for the Marlins this season.
