Tigers' Derek Hill: Headed for surgery

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Hill (knee) will undergo meniscus cleanup surgery in California next week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Hinch suggested that Hill will likely be ready to go for spring training in 2022, but the procedure could delay the outfielder's offseason training regimen. Before being shut down Sept. 19 with a left knee sprain, Hill hit .259 with three home runs and six stolen bases across 150 plate appearances this season.
