Derek Hill returned to action this past week for the first time in nearly 11 months.
Last August, the Detroit Tigers outfield prospect felt a pop in his elbow and fell victim to Tommy John surgery. It wasn?t his first time on the shelf.
Since being drafted 23rd overall in 2014, Hill has been on the disabled list multiple times, albeit mostly with minor maladies.

Hill is a highly-regarded defender ? and an ultra-aggressive defender. He?s just 21 years old, and hasn?t advanced beyond low-A, but there are already highlight-reel compilations of his diving, and wall-crashing, catches. Last summer, I asked Hill about the injury risk that comes with his all-out style.

?I wouldn?t say I?m an injury waiting to happen,? opined Hill. ?But if I need to go into the wall to make a play for my pitcher, I?m going to do that. It?s a team game, so you have to be willing to put your body on the line. The down side of that is, running into walls might have you out of the lineup for a few games.?

Or, if you blow out your elbow, the good part of a year. Hill is currently on a rehab assignment in the Gulf Coast League.

Detroit Tigers to introduce first-round pick Alex Faedo today.
Freep

Faedo, who will be introduced by the team during a 3 p.m. news conference today, was selected by the Tigers with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft.

His great junior season was capped with a win in the College World Series.
In 20 appearances, including 19 starts, with Florida this season, Faedo had a 9-2 record with a 2.26 ERA (123.2IP/31ER).
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound junior also racked up 157 strikeouts (11.43 SO/9.0IP) with only 42 walks (3.74 SO/BB).
Faedo saved some of his best pitching for the postseason, appearing in five games during the NCAA Tournament, compiling a 2-0 record with one save, 0.33 ERA (27.1IP/1ER) and 44 strikeouts and helping the Gators to their first-ever national championship.
He was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2017 College World Series after starting two games vs. TCU and not allowing a run in 14.1 innings, while striking out 22.
Faedo was also selected to the 11-man CWS All-Tournament Team.

Faedo, 21, fits the Tigers’ profile of recent first round draftees: He is a big right-hander, listed at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, and was considered one of the best power pitchers in this year’s draft class.
In three seasons at Florida, Faedo went 28-6 with 2.80 ERA, striking out 349 batters in 289 2/3 innings.
Faedo was also drafted in the 40th round by the Tigers three seasons ago.

The Tigers have now agreed to terms with 30 out of 40 players drafted and 22 of their first 23 selections.
