Detroit Tigers outfielder Derek Hill is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander J.A. Happ and the Minnesota Twins.
Hill is playing center field and hitting second after being held out of Tuesday's lineup. He is 6-for-16 (.375) with a pair of steals and a pair of runs scored against left-handed pitchers this season. Akil Baddoo is in left field and Robbie Grossman is in right while Victor Reyes takes a seat.
