Chicago White Sox Trade Veteran Outfielder Derek Hill to the Philadelphia Phillies
The move gives Philadelphia a right-handed outfielder and $250,000 in international bonus pool money after Adolis García left with a shoulder injury.
- On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies acquired outfielder Derek Hill and $250,000 in international bonus pool money from the Chicago White Sox for minor leaguers Dylan Campbell and Jose Colmenares.
- The trade follows an injury to Phillies outfielder Adolis Garcia, who suffered a pulled muscle in his right shoulder during Wednesday's game in Toronto and exited after making throws to home plate.
- Hill, 30, offers defensive versatility and has posted a.789 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, positioning him to see time in right field for the Phillies.
- To accommodate Hill on the 40-man roster, the Phillies designated pitcher Jackson Rutledge for assignment, while the White Sox received Campbell, a 23-year-old outfielder, and Colmenares, a 24-year-old infielder.
- With a 37-31 record, the Philadelphia Phillies sit second in the NL East, and this roster move positions Hill to contribute immediately as the club navigates injuries to key contributors.
