Derek Hill’s game-saving catch robbed Juan Soto of a would-be two-run homer in the first inning, then he started the seventh-inning rally as the Phillies edged the Mets 2-1 in Queens. Zack Wheeler worked seven strong innings, and Philadelphia’s turnaround continues under manager Don Mattingly as Hill and Turner helped push the team toward a tighter race in the standings.
Derek Hill delivered a go-ahead two-run homer off Richard Lovelady in the ninth after Kyle Schwarber's pinch-hit walk, lifting the Phillies to a 5-4 win over the Nationals at Nationals Park; it was Hill's first homer as a Phillie, capping a late rally sparked by a prior Phillies scoring burst and solid pitching from Aaron Nola.
The Phillies acquired Derek Hill from the White Sox to bolster their overall outfield depth. Hill is known for his speed and arm, but his .213/.284/.375 batting line suggests limited impact with the bat, though his splits show stronger production against left-handed pitching, implying a possible platoon role rather than an everyday upgrade. Philadelphia sent prospects Dylan Campbell and Jose Colmenares to Chicago in the deal, additions that emphasize future depth over immediate impact.
The Chicago White Sox traded outfielder Derek Hill and $250,000 in international signing bonus money to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for outfield prospect Dylan Campbell and infielder Jose Colmenares; Everson Pereira returns from the injured list to take Hill’s roster spot. Hill hit .213/.284/.375 with four homers in 50 games for Chicago this season.
The White Sox traded outfielder Derek Hill and $250K of international bonus pool space to the Phillies for outfield prospect Dylan Campbell and infield prospect Jose Colmenares, with Everson Pereira activated to take Hill’s spot and Jackson Rutledge designated for assignment to clear a 40-man slot. Hill, 30, is a speed-first defender with limited hitting, but his elite sprint speed and base-running could help Philadelphia’s outfield depth, especially if platoons are needed. Campbell and Colmenares are lottery-ticket prospects, while Chicago gains roster and pool-space flexibility. The move gives Philly more right-handed balance and playing-time options, and frees the Sox from Hill’s shrinking role.)
The Washington Nationals have placed center fielder Victor Robles on the 10-day injured list for the second time this season due to back spasms, a day after a dugout tiff with pitcher MacKenzie Gore. Outfielder Derek Hill was selected from Triple-A Rochester to replace Robles on the roster. The Nationals also placed right-handed reliever Carl Edwards Jr. on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation and recalled lefty Joe La Sorsa.
