Garrett Hill

Tigers pitcher Garrett Hill has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Hill tossed 2 2/3 innings while allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks against two strikeouts against the Braves on Monday. His big-league ERA is up to 8.49 on the season while walking 16.9% of the batters he has faced to this point. Reliever Brendan White was recalled in a corresponding move.

The Detroit Tigers have recalled right-hander Garrett Hill from Triple-A Toledo.

Fantasy Impact

Hill will take the spot of fellow hurler Alex Faedo who hit the IL with a finger injury on Saturday. The 27-year-old made 17 appearances (eight starts) for a beat-up Tigers staff last season, pitching to a solid 4.03 ERA. He was roughed up for eight earned runs in seven innings with the Tigers early this season and owns a 4.78 ERA and a 30.6% K% -- albeit alongside a bloated 14.9% BB% -- in 26 1/3 innings at Triple-A.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Garrett Hill threw two scoreless innings in a 16-3 blowout win over the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Hill allowed two hits while striking out two against zero walks in the outing. The right-hander is impressing this spring not only with a 1.50 ERA through six innings of work but with increased velocity after averaging 92.2 mph on his heater last season. Hill debuted with a 4.03 ERA across 17 outings (eight starts) with the Tigers last season but is vying for a bullpen role in addition to starting pitching depth this spring.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Garrett Hill earned the win over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite allowing an earned run, one hit, and three walks Thursday, Hill earned the win in an eventual 10-3 Tigers triumph. The right-hander still owns a 2.25 ERA in the spring after tossing 4.03 ERA ball across eight starts and 17 appearances with the Tigers in 2022. He has a strong chance at cracking the Tigers' Opening Day roster as a reliever but should also serve as rotation depth in 2023.

Garrett Hill allowed one run on four hits over six innings in a 4-3 win over Cleveland on Tuesday. Hill earned the win while striking out three and walking two.
