The Marlins claimed Hill off waivers from the Giants on Aug. 3, after which he slashed .227/.242/.417 with four homers and 17 RBIs in 25 games before he went on the IL, retroactive to Sept. 5.

Hensley went 11-for-52 (.212) with one homer in 23 games with the Marlins since he was acquired off waivers from the Astros on July 29, then activated on July 30. Devers was called up when Bruján went on the IL on Aug. 31, but only appeared in three games.
