We discussed yesterday when Wendzel was sent down that Hill was a candidate for being added to the roster. The 28 year old outfielder is a former first round pick who has slashed .229/.279/.314 in 108 games in his major league career, but he had an impressive spring training and has slashed .333/.387/.659 so far this season in AAA. With Adolis Garcia a little banged up, Hill gives the team some outfield depth, particularly with Travis Jankowski having, at least last week, apparently having been somewhat limited due to a leg issue.

The Texas Rangers have purchased the contract of outfielder Derek Hill from AAA Round Rock, the team announced today. Hill is taking the roster spot of Davis Wendzel, who was optioned to AAA Round Rock yesterday. To make room for him on the 40 man roster, the Rangers have moved Austin Pruitt from the 15 day injured list to the 60 day injured list.
