Hill went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Padres. Hill has been limited to bench duties for much of the year. He pinch hit for Jarred Kelenic in the seventh inning and delivered a game-tying homer in this contest, which was Hill's second long ball of the season. Hill is batting .263 with a .770 OPS, three RBI, six runs scored and four steals on seven attempts across 44 plate appearances this season. He gets most of his starts as a short-side platoon option in the outfield, but he has yet to pick up a start against a righty.

Derek Hill: Breaking News
Drives first homer of season
Hill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Athletics. Hill hit the first of four White Sox homers, unloading on a Jeffrey Springs fastball in the second inning. The veteran started in right field but has seen action at all three outfield spots, producing a .725 OPS through 31 plate appearances, with Sunday's homer marking his first extra-base hit and RBI of the season. Hill figures to continue operating primarily as a bench outfielder with some starts against lefties mixed in.
Starts in series finale
Hill went 1-for-2 before being replaced by a pinch hitter in the sixth inning of Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rays. Hill, who played four games with the White Sox last season, returned to the South Side this offseason and found himself in a bigger role than expected after the trade of Luis Robert -- Hill has seen action in 15 games so far in 2026. The 30-year-old's glove is his biggest asset, as he's tallied just 25 plate appearances to date with zero extra-base hits. He's also been caught stealing three times on six attempts, a dubious honor which currently leads the majors.
