Drives first homer of season
Hill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
Analisi
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.
Analisi
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.
