Hill will be a part of Detroit's Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Hill earned one of the final spots on the Detroit roster despite posting a 7.11 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 12.2 innings in the Grapefruit League. The Tigers have yet to clarify what the 27-year-old right-hander's role will look like to begin the season, but he could be ticketed for a long-relief role with Joey Wentz expected to serve as Detroit's No. 5 starter to begin the campaign.
