The Miami Marlins placed outfielder Derek Hill on the 10-day injured list on Monday because of a sprained left wrist.

In a corresponding move, the Marlins recalled outfielder Victor Mesa Jr. from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Hill, 29, had made a diving catch to rob the Angels' Nolan Schanuel of a hit for the final out of the eighth inning in the Marlins' 3-0 road win on Sunday.

He is batting .233 with two home runs, five RBIs, a .300 on-base percentage and a .670 OPS with six stolen bases in six attempts in 23 games this season. Hill also was on the injured list with a left wrist issue from mid-April to mid-May.

Hill is a career .233 hitter with 13 homers and 48 RBIs in 184 games for the Detroit Tigers (2020-22), Washington Nationals (2023), Texas Rangers (2024), San Francisco Giants (2024) and Marlins (2024-present).

Mesa, 23, could be on the verge of his major league debut for Miami, which also is without outfielders Dane Myers (right oblique strain) and Griffin Conine, who had left shoulder surgery and is expected to return in 2026.

Considered one of the Miami organization's top 30 prospects, Mesa was hitting .300 (6-for-20) with two doubles, one triple, one homer and five RBIs in six games with Jacksonville this season.
