The Miami Marlins reinstated outfielder Derek Hill from the 10-day injured list on Monday while also designating infielder Jack Winkler for assignment.
Hill injured the middle finger on his left hand during batting practice last month, leading him to miss the past two weeks with a finger sprain. He returned to the team on Monday after a short rehab appearance with Triple-A Jacksonville.
In 33 games with Miami this season, Hill has batted .211 with two home runs and seven RBIs. A six-year pro, Hill has hit .229 with 13 home runs and 50 RBIs split among stints with five different teams.
Winkler appeared in 11 games for the Marlins this year, logging two hits in 12 at-bats.
In another move, Miami claimed outfielder Joey Wiemer off waivers from the Kansas City Royals and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville. Wiemer, who was designated for assignment by Kansas City last week, is hitting .182 with nine homers and 38 RBIs with Triple-A Omaha this year.
