Jun 27 2025Gil (lat) is expected to work up to about 35 pitches in a live session next week, and if all goes well, he could be sent on a rehab assignment, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reported Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil has been completing bullpens regularly and is slated to face hitters early next week before the Yankees decide whether or not he's ready for a rehab assignment. Gil is on track for a late-July return, and he'll likely need several starts while on his assignment before being activated.
Jun 21 2025Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Gil (lat) is on track to return in late July or early August, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil threw live batting practice Saturday for the first time since sustaining a preseason lat injury, and Boone offered more insight into Gil's recovery timeline afterward. Boone said the Yankees are considering Gil the equivalent of a trade deadline acquisition, as the right-hander is expected to return near the July 31 deadline. Gil may throw live BP once or twice more before being sent off on a rehab assignment.
Jun 17 2025Gil (lat) said he's scheduled to throw against batters Saturday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It will be Gil's first time facing hitters since he suffered the right lat strain during spring training. The right-hander isn't expected to rejoin the Yankees until after the All-Star break, but a rehab assignment may not be too far off if he can continue ramping up his throwing progression with no setbacks.
Jun 14 2025Gil (lat) is at least 10 days away from facing hitters and probably won't return until after the All-Star break, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil resumed throwing off a mound in late May and continues to progress in his return from a right lat strain. However, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that the right-handed starter won't face hitters for 10-to-14 days, which suggests that Gil won't be able to return to the big club's rotation before the All-Star break. Given that he hasn't seen game action at all this season, Gil will almost certainly requite a minor-league rehab stint before he's activated from the injured list.
May 30 2025Gil (lat) threw a bullpen session Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Aaron Boone said earlier in the week that Gil would begin throwing off a mound Friday if he continued to progress well in his rehab, and it appears the 26-year-old righty is right on schedule. His first bullpen session since spring training saw him throw just 15 pitches, so he still has a long way to go before rejoining the Yankees' rotation. A return timeline may begin to emerge once he's cleared to resume facing hitters.
May 26 2025Gil (lat) could throw off a mound Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Skipper Aaron Boone noted that Gil has been feeling strong in his rehab, indicating that the right-hander's throwing program is continuing to progress in the right direction. If all goes well during the week, the club may clear Gil to throw off a mound at Dodger Stadium, per Hoch.
May 18 2025Gil (lat) is on track with his throwing program and is targeting a return to the mound within the next 1-to-2 weeks, per MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil sustained a right lat strain in late February, resulting in a trip to the injured list to begin the campaign. The right-hander kicked off a throwing program in late April and appears to be making gradual but steady progress toward a return. If Gil continues to move forward without any setbacks, he could be pitching for the Yankees sometime in June.
Apr 16 2025Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the beginning of Gil's (lat) throwing progression will be pushed back about 10 days, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil had been scheduled to play catch Wednesday or Thursday. However, the pitcher recently underwent an MRI, and doctors would like to see more healing with Gil's right lat before they clear him to throw. While he's not a setback, per se, Gil's recovery has not moved along as far as hoped.
Apr 14 2025Gil (lat) is expected to begin a throwing program Wednesday or Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It will mark the end of a six-week shutdown period as the right-hander works his way back from a high-grade lat strain. Gil is already on the 60-day injured list and will be ramped up slowly. A timetable for his return to the Yankees' rotation likely won't become clearer until he begins mound work.
Apr 9 2025Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Gil (lat) is scheduled to begin a throwing program within the next several days, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After being diagnosed with a high-grade right lat strain in early March, Gil avoided surgery but received a platelet-rich plasma injection and was advised not to throw for six weeks. The right-hander seems to be responding as well as the Yankees had hoped during his prolonged shutdown, and though he's on the cusp of playing catch again, he'll be in line for a slow and deliberate ramp-up program. The Yankees have already shifted Gil to the 60-day injured list and aren't anticipating him being ready to make his season debut until at least early June.
Mar 24 2025The Yankees placed Gil (lat) on the 60-day injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Ryan Yarbrough, who signed a one-year deal Monday. Gil is expected to be sidelined until at least June while he recovers from a high-grade right lat strain.
Mar 6 2025Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that he expects Gil (lat) to be sidelined for at least three months, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil is nursing a high-grade right lat strain, a diagnosis which was confirmed by a second MRI back in New York. The righty will be shut down for at least six weeks and will need to be built back up from scratch, so Cashman's revelation that Gil won't be an option until June, at the earliest, doesn't come as a surprise. Marcus Stroman and Will Warren are competing to fill Gil's spot in the Yankees' rotation.
Mar 3 2025Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Gil has been diagnosed with a high-grade right lat strain and will not throw for at least six weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil will basically be starting from scratch once he's ready to be built back up, so this is going to be a lengthy absence which seems likely to keep the right-hander sidelined for at least the first couple months of the season. Marcus Stroman is the obvious candidate to take Gil's spot in the Yankees' rotation, but Will Warren has impressed during spring training and also appears to be in the mix.
Feb 28 2025Gil was pulled from his bullpen session Friday due to shoulder tightness and is scheduled for an MRI on Saturday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The reigning American League Rookie of the Year was building toward his first start of spring training, but the shoulder tightness instead has him headed for medical imaging. According to Erik Boland of Newsday, manager Aaron Boone said he feels like the injury will "cost us some time," so Gil may not be ready by Opening Day. Should the injury force him to miss the start of the regular season, Marcus Stroman and Will Warren are the primary options to round out the Yankees' starting rotation.
Nov 18 2024Gill was named the 2024 American League Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil narrowly came away with the award by collecting 15 first-place votes in comparison to Colton Cowser's 13 first-place votes. Gil was certainly a worthy recipient of the honor after turning in a 3.50 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 171:77 K:BB across 29 starts (151.2 innings). However, there will be plenty of competition within the Yankees' rotation heading into the 2025 campaign, leaving no room for Gil to become complacent.
Oct 30 2024Gil received a no-decision Tuesday, yielding four runs on five hits over four-plus innings as the Yankees took Game 4 of the World Series over the Dodgers. He walked two and struck out one batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil served up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman in the first inning before settling in to face one over the minimum from the second to fourth frames. The right-hander remained in to start the top of the fifth but was pulled after allowing a leadoff homer to Will Smith and a walk to Tommy Edman. The Yankees' bullpen locked things down after that with five scoreless frames. Gil has lasted four innings in both of his postseason outings, yielding a total of six runs. He does not project to start another game during the World Series but could be available in relief, if needed, should the Yankees extend the series back to Los Angeles.
Oct 26 2024Gil will start Tuesday against the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil allowed three earned runs over 5.2 innings when he went up against the Dodgers in early June, and his performance has been trending downward as of late, as he's yielded 12 runs in 15 frames across his last three outings. He'll be following Carlos Rodon and Clarke Schmidt in the rotation, as his two teammates will start Games 2 and 3, respectively.
Oct 7 2024Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Gil will be available out of the bullpen in the ALDS but will rejoin the rotation for the ALCS, should the team advance, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clarke Schmidt was the choice for the Game 3 start over Gil, but it sounds like Gil would re-enter the rotation for a potential ALCS even if Nestor Cortes (elbow) winds up being available. Boone noted that he'll be flexible with what kind of relief role Gil fills in the ALDS, as it could be anything from bulk relief to high-leverage, one-inning situations.
Oct 2 2024Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake indicated Wednesday that the team will wait until after Game 1 of the ALDS to announce whether Gil or Clarke Schmidt will start Game 3, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The club will have both Gil and Schmidt available in relief in Game 1, so it is holding off on naming a Game 3 starter until after the series opener plays out. The Yankees are set to play the winner of the Royals-Orioles wild-card series.
Sep 28 2024Gil (15-7) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits -- including four home runs -- and a walk over 5.2 innings as the Yankees fell 9-4 to the Pirates. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first time in his career Gil has been taken deep four times, and the only other time in 2024 he's served up multiple homers came back on Apr. 26, when the Brewers socked two off him in a no-decision. It's a rough ending to a brilliant regular season, but the 26-year-old righty still heads into the playoffs with a 3.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 171:77 K:BB through 151.2 innings. Gil should have a big role in the Yankees' postseason rotation, but with a bye for the Wild Card Round, it's not yet clear when he'll next take the mound.
Sep 22 2024Gil (15-6) allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil had his worst start in four outings since he returned from a back injury, but he was still able to pick up his third win in that span. Over his last eight outings, he has a 42:26 K:BB across 38.2 innings, but he's given up a modest 16 runs. Gil now has a 3.27 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 166:76 K:BB over 146 innings through 28 starts this season. His last start of the regular season is projected to be at home versus the Pirates.
Sep 18 2024Gil (14-6) got the win over the Mariners on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil allowed nine hard-hit balls during Tuesday's outing but only one did any damage, with that being a second-inning solo home run from Jorge Polanco. The righty otherwise was able to limit the damage despite showing some wildness again, walking multiple batters for a seventh straight outing. Gil has now allowed just two runs on 10 hits over his last 16 innings, lowering his ERA to 3.14 to go with a 1.18 WHIP and 161:73 K:BB in 140.2 innings. Gil lines up to make his next start against Oakland this weekend.
Sep 11 2024Gil allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil did well in the contest, but he needed 97 pitches to get through five frames and thus didn't last long enough to pick up a second straight quality start. The right-hander has looked good since returning from a stay on the 15-day injured list, allowing just one run while posting a 12:4 K:BB over 11 innings. That's great news for the Yankees as the postseason looms, as Gil has been one of the team's best starters this year with a 3.18 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 156:70 K:BB over 135.2 frames.
Sep 6 2024Gil (13-6) earned the win Friday over the Cubs, allowing one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After missing two weeks with lower-back discomfort, Gil was excellent in his return Friday, holding the Cubs to just one hit in the winning effort. It's an encouraging effort from the 26-year-old Gil, who had allowed seven runs over seven innings in two starts prior to his IL stint. He had also issued 16 walks in his previous 17.1 frames. Overall, Gil sports a 3.24 ERA across 130.2 innings this season with a 1.16 WHIP and 151:68 K:BB. He currently lines up for a home matchup with the Royals in his next outing.
Sep 5 2024The Yankees activated Gil (back) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil will rejoin the rotation Friday with a start against the Cubs after missing the last two weeks with lower-back discomfort. He went just 3.2 innings but threw 80 pitches in his lone rehab start, so Gil is mostly stretched out. There's been speculation that the Yankees will shift him to relief and perhaps even use him as their closer, but for now Gil will be part of the rotation.
Sep 3 2024Gil (back) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Cubs, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that the right-hander was likely to return from the injured list this weekend, and Gil is now penciled in for Friday's series opener in Chicago. The 26-year-old threw 80 pitches across 3.2 frames in his lone rehab outing, so he shouldn't have any significant workload limitations in his first start back with New York. With Clarke Schmidt (lat) making his return from the 60-day IL on Saturday, it appears the Yankees will employ a six-man rotation for the near future.
Sep 2 2024Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that there's a "very good chance" Gil (back) will rejoin the rotation this weekend against the Cubs, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil made what's expected to be his lone rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Sunday, getting charged with three runs while striking out six over 3.2 frames. He threw 80 pitches in the outing, so the righty should be sufficiently stretched out for a pretty typical workload versus the Cubs. Clarke Schmidt (lat) is also expected back in the rotation this weekend, so the Yankees appear poised to operate with a six-man setup for now. Eventually, one or both of them could be shifted to relief ahead of the postseason.
Aug 30 2024Gil (back) is scheduled to pitch in a minor-league rehab game Sunday, per MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil exited his Aug. 20 start against Cleveland after three-plus innings due to lower back discomfort, and he subsequently landed on the 15-day IL. The right-hander has since been able to toss a live batting practice session of around 65 pitches, and he may not require more than one rehab appearance. Gil is eligible to return from the IL on Sept. 6, which would be five days after Sunday's rehab start.
Aug 28 2024Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Gil (back) will likely make a rehab start in five days, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil got through a live batting practice session Tuesday with no issues and should be in line for a rehab start Monday or Tuesday. Given that he's been on the shelf for a brief period of time with a lower-back strain, Gil shouldn't need more than one rehab start before being activated from the 15-day injured list, potentially as soon as next weekend. The New York rotation is fluid right now with Clarke Schmidt (lat) also nearing a return and likely to beat Gil back from the IL. The plan is for both Gil and Schmidt to return as starters, but one or both of them could eventually shift to relief later on in September.
Aug 27 2024Gil (back) threw live batting practice with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Gil threw a bullpen session Sunday, manager Aaron Boone indicated that Gil would either throw live BP or begin a rehab assignment next. While Gil is with the Yankees' Double-A affiliate, he hasn't yet began to pitch in games. There's optimism that the 26-year-old could be ready to be activated once he becomes eligible Sept. 6, so a rehab start could be the next step for Gil.
Aug 26 2024Gil (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that the team is still determining whether Gil's next time on the mound will be a live batting practice session or a rehab start. The right-hander will be eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list on Sept. 6 and Boone added that it's possible Gil is ready by that date. The hurler is recovering from a lower-back strain.
Aug 21 2024Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Gil's lower-back strain is considered minor, and the Yankees are hopeful that he can return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible Sept. 5, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil tweaked his back during his start Tuesday against the Guardians and landed on the IL a day later. Boone is optimistic that Gil will be able to continue throwing throughout his stint on the IL, which would improve the right-hander's odds of making it back in the minimum 15 days. Boone added that he foresees Gil returning as a member of the rotation rather than the bullpen.
Aug 20 2024Gil was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians due to back tightness. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old righty needed 78 pitches to get through three-plus innings before leaving the game, during which he gave up three runs on three hits and six walks while striking out three batters. He'll presumably undergo imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and his status for his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come against the Rockies over the weekend -- is uncertain.
Aug 12 2024Gil (12-6) took the loss Monday against the White Sox, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The New York rookie failed to collect his third consecutive win against a feeble Chicago lineup that laced seven hits, the most Gil has allowed since giving up eight to Baltimore on June 20. The 26-year-old stumbled out the gate at Guarantee Rate Field, walking Nicky Lopez to open the game and giving up two run-scoring doubles in the first inning. Overall, Gil has now pitched to a 3.25 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 141:60 K:BB across 121.2 innings this season. He is currently scheduled to make his next start at home against Cleveland next week.
Aug 7 2024Gil (12-5) earned the win over the Angels in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader, allowing two hits and issuing five walks while striking out six batters over five scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil's control was shaky in the outing, as he walked five batters, his second-highest total this season. However, the right-hander was nearly unhittable, giving up just a pair of harmless singles. The free passes ran Gil's pitch count up to 107, so he was unable to work long enough to register a quality start, but he did notch his third victory across his past four outings. That stretch has come following a four-game losing streak during which Gil posted a 9.37 ERA, so he appears to be back on track. On the season, Gil has shined with a 3.06 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 138:58 K:BB over 117.2 frames.
Aug 6 2024Gil and the Yankees will not play Tuesday after their game versus the Angels was postponed due to inclement weather. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The game will be made up as part of a traditional doubleheader Wednesday. Scheduled starters Gil and Davis Daniel will be pushed back a day.
Jul 29 2024Gil (11-5) earned the win over Philadelphia on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight batters over 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was given a 3-0 lead after two frames, and despite allowing a run in each of the third and fourth innings, he cruised to his 11th victory of the season as the Yankees offense piled on 14 runs by the end of the contest. The right-hander tallied 14 swinging strikes en route to eight punchouts and gave up just one extra-base hit (a solo homer). Gil's three-game streak of allowing just one run came to an end, but he did pick up his second with over his past three starts.
Jul 24 2024Gil came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mets, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a rough stretch in late June and early July, Gil has turned things around and given up just one run in each of his last three outings while delivering a 22:2 K:BB over 17.2 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander's stumble came after he topped 100 pitches for the first time June 14 against the Red Sox, so expect the Yankees to keep a close eye on his workload the rest of the way. Gil lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Philadelphia.
Jul 13 2024Gil (10-5) earned the win against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil allowed a run in the fourth but was otherwise fantastic, finishing with two perfect innings and departing with a 6-1 lead. The righty generated 15 swinging strikes and will head into the All-Star break with some momentum after yielding just two runs over his past two outings. On the season, he owns a 3.17 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 118:49 K:BB across 102.1 innings
Jul 8 2024Gil (9-5) took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out nine over 6.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was locked into a scoreless pitcher's duel with Kutter Crawford until the former gave up an opposite-field solo home run to Rafael Devers in the seventh. He retired one more batter after Devers and then exited the game and wound up with the loss after the Yankees ended up getting shut out. It was an encouraging showing for Gil nonetheless after he had surrendered 16 runs and posted a 6:9 K:BB in 9.2 innings over his prior three starts. Sunday was also the first time the 26-year-old managed to not walk a batter all year and the first time he reached six innings since June 4. Gil will look to generate one more strong start before the All-Star break and currently lines up to face the Orioles in Baltimore over the weekend.
Jul 2 2024Gil (9-4) took the loss Tuesday against Cincinnati, allowing four runs on two hits and three walks across four innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil surrendered at least four runs for a third straight start, something he'd done just once in his first 13 outings, continuing an unexpected freefall after an outstanding start to 2024. He was pulled after hitting a pair of batters and allowing a two-run home run to Will Benson in the fifth inning without recording an out. While Gil still owns a 3.41 ERA and a 102:48 K:BB across 89.2 innings, fantasy managers should proceed with caution, especially with a matchup against the Red Sox on the docket for Sunday.
Jun 26 2024Gil (9-3) took the loss against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was stung by both hard hits and walks -- three of the four knocks he allowed went for extra bases, and he also surrendered four free passes. His final two walks were particularly detrimental, as both runners came around to score following his departure. Gil has now put forward two straight poor outings, giving up 12 runs over 5.2 innings across his past two starts. He had a 2.02 ERA and was being mentioned in discussions about AL Cy Young Award contenders after a June 14 win against Boston, but his subsequent struggles have increased is ERA by over a run to 3.15.
Jun 20 2024Gil (9-2) was hit with the loss against the Orioles on Thursday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil struggled out of the gate, surrendering a leadoff double to open the contest before then eventually allowing one run in the first. However, things would get much worse for the right-hander in the following frame as he failed to retire nine of the next 10 batters he faced, leading to his shortest outing of the campaign. Gil gave up a season-high seven runs on the afternoon and failed to make it through six innings for the third-consecutive start. It also marked his first loss since April 15 against Toronto.
Jun 14 2024Gil (9-1) picked up the win Friday over the Red Sox, allowing one run on four hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil struggled with command a bit Friday, though he'd manage to limit Boston to a lone fourth-inning run en route to his ninth win this season. The 26-year-old Gil allowed three runs in his last outing against the Dodgers, though he's now held opponents to one run or fewer in eight of his last nine starts. Gil's ERA is down to 2.03 with a 0.98 WHIP and 96:39 K:BB across 80 innings this year. He's currently slated for a road matchup with the Orioles in his next outing.
Jun 10 2024Gil did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in 5.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil held the Dodgers in check through the first four innings, but they broke through in the fifth on a two-run double from Mookie Betts. Teoscar Hernandez would add to that with a solo home run in the sixth, leading to Gil's exit. Sunday was the first time Gil had given up more than one run in a start since he allowed five against the Brewers on April 26. The Yankees are now 11-2 in games started by Gil, and he'll carry a magnificent 2.04 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 90:35 K:BB (75 innings) into a showdown versus the Red Sox over the weekend.
Jun 5 2024Gil (8-1) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one hit and three walks over six scoreless innings in a 5-1 victory over the Twins. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old didn't miss a beat after being named the American League Rookie and Pitcher of the Month for May. Gil extended his quality-start streak to seven with the performance, and he's won all seven of those outings with an eye-popping 0.60 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB through 44.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to be a marquee matchup against the Dodgers in Yankee Stadium this weekend.
May 30 2024Gil (7-1) picked up the win Wednesday over the Angels, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out nine over eight frames. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil continued his fantastic start to the campaign Wednesday, allowing just one hit over the first six innings before surrendering a solo home run to Logan O'Hoppe in the seventh. The right-hander produced 15 whiffs on the night while posting at least eight strikeouts for the third consecutive outing. Gil has now logged six quality starts in a row and improved to 6-0 in May after the win over Los Angeles. Over that stretch, he carries a ridiculous 0.70 ERA to go along with a 44:12 K:BB. Wednesday also marked his longest outing of the season.
May 23 2024Gil (6-1) earned the win Thursday over the Mariners, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out eight in 6.1 scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil continues to look like a star in the Yankees' rotation -- the 25-year-old right-hander now has five straight wins and quality starts, allowing just two runs over 30.2 innings in that span. He's lowered his ERA to 2.11 on the year with a 1.01 WHIP and 70:29 K:BB through 10 starts (55.1 innings). GIl will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week on the road against the Angels.
May 18 2024Gil (5-1) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings in a 6-1 victory over the White Sox. He struck out 14. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old right-hander set a new career high in Ks -- in fact, Gil has never struck out more than nine batters in a big-league start before. He generated an incredible 22 swinging strikes among his 98 pitches, and 40 combined called/swinging strikes, as he produced his fourth straight quality start and won his fifth straight decision. Gil is having a breakout campaign, and he'll take a 2.39 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 62:27 K:BB through 49 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Mariners.
May 13 2024Gil (4-1) allowed three hits and two walks over six shutout innings Sunday, striking out three and earning a win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil never found himself in much trouble Sunday as he cruised to a scoreless quality start. He's gone 3-0 while giving up one run over 18.1 frames in his last three outings, dropping his season ERA to 2.51. Prior to these three straight quality starts, Gil hadn't completed six innings in any of his first five appearances. His next start is projected to be a strong home matchup against the White Sox.
May 8 2024Gil (3-1) picked up the win in Tuesday's 10-3 rout of the Astros, allowing one run on one hit and four walks over six innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Kyle Tucker mashed a solo shot off Gil in the first inning, but the right-hander was unhittable after that despite some shaky control. He tossed 57 of 97 pitches for strikes before leaving the mound with his second straight quality start, the only two times in seven outings he's even lasted six innings. Gil will take a 2.92 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 45:24 K:BB through 37 inning into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in Tampa Bay.
May 1 2024Gil (2-1) picked up the win Thursday, allowing two hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 6.1 scoreless innings against Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil rebounded from his first bad start of the season, completing six innings for the first time all season while blanking the O's. Gil has allowed three or fewer hits in all but one start this season but has allowed 20 walks in 31 innings, leading to an overall ERA of 3.19. The 26-year-old has been a pleasant surprise in the back end of the Yankees rotation and could find himself among the elite fantasy pitchers if he can reign in his walk problem. Gil's set to toe the rubber next against the Astros on Tuesday.
Apr 27 2024Gil surrendered five earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six batters across five innings during Friday's loss to Milwaukee. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he was able to limit his struggles with walking batters, Gil's five runs and six hits allowed represented season highs for the 25-year-old, who now owns a 4.01 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through five starts. He's lined up to face another high-octane offense in Baltimore on Wednesday, and he could be at risk of getting hit around again if his command doesn't improve.
Apr 21 2024Gil (1-1) picked up the win Sunday, allowing two hits and three walks with nine strikeouts over 5.2 scoreless innings against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Gil's walk issues persisted -- he's allowed at least three walks in each of his four starts this season -- he turned in his first scoreless start of the campaign and set a season high in strikeouts. He's yet to allow more than three hits in a game and hasn't been tagged for a homer in 19.2 innings. Gil is tentatively scheduled for a start against the Brewers on Friday.
Apr 15 2024Gil (0-1) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on three hits and seven walks over five innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil struggled to find the strike zone Monday night in Toronto, walking seven batters, equaling a career-high previously set on Sept. 8, 2021, also against the Blue Jays. However, the 25-year-old still flashed his strikeout prowess, punching out six batters and generating 16 whiffs. Gil looks to bounce back in his next start, scheduled against the Rays at home.
Apr 13 2024Gil will be available out of the bullpen for Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Per manager Aaron Boone, Gil would likely start Monday's game in Toronto if he doesn't pitch Saturday, but if he is used, he would slot back into the rotation Wednesday against the Blue Jays. Gil is available either for length or a big spot, so he could pick up a win or even a save during the twin bill. Nestor Cortes will start Sunday against Cleveland.
Apr 7 2024Gil (0-0) didn't factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out eight Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil's poor command came back to bite him Sunday, as he allowed a single to George Springer and then issued three straight free passes -- one hit-by-pitch -- to bring Springer around to score. Other than his walk problem (seven walks in nine innings), Gil has been great to start 2024, owning a 3.00 ERA with 14 strikeouts through two starts, both of which have come against dangerous offenses. He's lined up to face the Guardians in Cleveland for his next projected start.
Apr 1 2024Gil didn't factor into the decision Monday against Arizona, going 4.2 innings and yielding one run on one hit and three walks. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil showed his worth as the Yankees' fifth starter and Gerrit Cole (elbow) fill-in, holding the D-Backs to one hit in his first MLB appearance since 2022. The righty got himself into trouble in the third, allowing a hit and a walk before advancing both the runners on a wild pitch, opening up the opportunity for Ketel Marte to cash in on a sac fly. Still, Gil looks to be a quality option for NYY moving forward and will look to keep the ball rolling in his next projected start Sunday against Toronto -- who got no-hit by Houston's Ronel Blanco on Monday.
Mar 28 2024The Yankees recalled Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was optioned in early March, but Gil wound up winning the Yankees' fifth starter job after Gerrit Cole went down with an elbow injury that forced him to the 60-day IL. Gil is tentatively slated to make his season debut Monday in Arizona.
Mar 24 2024Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Gil will open the year as the team's fifth starter, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A slot in the rotation became available when it was announced that Gerrit Cole (elbow) would miss extended time at the start of the campaign, and Gil was among a group of hurlers competing for the role in spring training. The right-hander posted an excellent 2.87 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 15.2 Grapefruit League innings and drew positive comments from rival scouts, so his spot in the Opening Day rotation is well-deserved. Gil has made seven big-league appearances (all starts) in his career, posting a 3.78 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 43:21 K:BB across 33.1 frames. He should get several turns in the rotation to try to establish himself since Cole is not expected to be able to return until at least late May or early June.
Mar 23 2024Gil tossed four innings in a Grapefruit League game against the Mets on Friday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out five batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil served up a two-run homer to Mark Vientos in the second inning but was otherwise strong over his four frames. The right-hander has been mentioned as a candidate to step into the Yankees' Opening Day rotation in the wake of Gerrit Cole's extended absence due to an elbow injury, and Gil has made a compelling case for himself with a 2.87 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 15.2 spring innings. Per Erik Boland of Newsday, rival scouts have raved about Gil looking "electric" over the past few weeks, and he's "very much in the mix" to break camp with the big club. However, Will Warren and Clayton Beeter -- who are also in contention for the vacated rotation spot -- have also looked good this spring, and veteran Luke Weaver is also a candidate for the role, so Gil could still feasibly begin the campaign in the minors.
Mar 12 2024Gil could be considered for a spot in the Yankees' Opening Day rotation if Gerrit Cole (elbow) needs to miss time, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on March 3, but he could potentially be brought back up if the Yankees need him to fill a spot on the big-league roster. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged Monday that Gerrit Cole, who has already undergone an MRI on his pitching elbow and is scheduled for more testing, isn't likely to be ready for Opening Day, per Erik Boland of Newsday, so the team is almost certain to need a fil-in starter for at least the short term. Gil looked great in his most recent Grapefruit League outing, striking out eight batters and allowing just one hit and no walks over 3.2 innings against the Phillies on Monday, and he's posted a 3.24 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB overall through 8.1 spring frames. Other candidates to potentially step in for Cole include fellow youngsters Clayton Beeter and Will Warren.
Mar 3 2024Gil was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil made two Grapefruit League appearances and will shift to minor-league camp after he allowed two runs on a hit and two walks while striking out three. The right-hander is currently stretched out as a starter but could be shifted to a relief role, which would likely provide a clearer path to a roster spot in the majors. Gil missed most of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, though he returned for a couple minor-league rehab starts in September.
Feb 15 2024Gil will be stretched out to start this spring, but the Yankees are open to the possibility of shifting him to a relief role, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Yankees remain high on Gil's potential as a starting pitcher, but they could have more of an immediate need in the bullpen. Clayton Beeter is also a possibility to shift to relief. Gil was limited to just two rehab starts in 2023 after coming back from Tommy John surgery but has arrived to spring training without restrictions.
Sep 11 2023Gil (elbow) tossed two innings and struck out three while giving up four earned runs on three hits and two walks in his rehab start Thursday for Single-A Tampa. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil made his second appearance at Tampa after striking out three over another two-inning start in his first rehab outing Sept. 1. The right-hander's fastball velocity is reportedly sitting around the same levels it had prior to him undergoing Tommy John surgery last May, but like most pitchers returning from a major elbow injury, Gil's command and control has been lacking a bit thus far during his rehab assignment. He'll eventually shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before potentially making his return from the 60-day injured list before the end of the season. The Yankees envision Gil serving as a starter over the long haul, but if he makes any appearances for the big club in 2023, he'll likely be doing so in a relief role.
Sep 2 2023Gil's (elbow) fastball was clocked at 98 mph during his first rehab outing Friday for Single-A Tampa, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three batters over two innings. His fastball averaged 96 mph in the majors in 2021, so it's good to hear his velocity is all the way back after having not pitched since May 2022 due to Tommy John surgery.
Sep 1 2023Gil (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Tampa on Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It will be his first game action since he underwent Tommy John surgery last May. While it's possible the Yankees could activate Gil later this month, the most important thing at this point is getting him built back up so he has a chance to contribute as a starter next season. The righty would seem to be a prime candidate for the Arizona Fall League and/or winter ball.
Jul 14 2023Gil (elbow) threw live batting practice Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first time Gil has faced hitters since he underwent Tommy John surgery last May. The young right-hander has a chance to help the Yankees at some point in the second half, although he might not have enough time to be built back up to contribute as a starter.
May 19 2023Gil (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's his first time throwing off a mound since last year's Tommy John surgery. Gil had the operation last May and will try to become an option for the Yankees' rotation or bullpen at some point in the second half.
Mar 30 2023The Yankees placed Gil (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil resumed tossing bullpen sessions in the latter stages of spring training, but he'll still require more than two months to complete his throwing progression plus a minor-league rehab assignment while he works his way back from May 2022 Tommy John surgery. His move to the 60-day injured list won't affect his recovery timeline and affords the Yankees some added flexibility with the 40-man roster in the meantime.
Mar 18 2023Gil recently began throwing bullpen sessions, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil underwent Tommy John surgery in May of last year and is about 10 months into his rehab. He hasn't yet faced hitters, but the fact that he's tossing bullpens suggests that the right-hander hasn't had any setbacks. Gil isn't expected to be ready to return to game action until at least July.
Feb 16 2023Gil (elbow) is hoping to be cleared to throw a bullpen session during spring training, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil has been throwing from over 100 feet for a while and is aiming for mound work sometime this spring, although that hasn't been scheduled yet. He had Tommy John surgery last May and doesn't figure to be an option for the Yankees until the second half.
Aug 28 2022Gil (elbow) was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old was already on the injured list with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since undergoing Tommy John surgery in May, and the Yankees called him up to move him to the 60-day IL and free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Gil won't return this year and will also be sidelined for at minimum the first half of the 2023 campaign.
May 21 2022Gil will undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil exited his start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday with an elbow injury, and the issue is significant enough to require surgery. Prior to the 23-year-old's injury, he had posted a 7.89 ERA, 31:15 K:BB and 1.70 WHIP in 21.2 innings over six starts with the Triple-A club this year. The right-hander will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2022 season and should miss a significant portion of the 2023 campaign.
May 20 2022Manager Aaron Boone said Gil (elbow) is dealing with a "significant" injury, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was removed from Wednesday's start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with an apparent elbow injury, and he'll apparently be sidelined for the foreseeable future. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Gil's availability for the rest of the season is now in queston.
May 18 2022Gil was removed from his start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday after gesturing to his right elbow, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old was making his first start back with the RailRiders after a brief stint with the Yankees, but his return outing was cut short by the injury. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but any arm issue is a worrying sign for Gil, who's struggled to a 9.53 ERA at Triple-A this year.
May 13 2022Gil was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil served as a spot starter Thursday against the White Sox but settled for a no-decision after allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings. He has a 9.53 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 17 innings over five minor-league starts this year and will likely need to generate better results if he hopes to gain a full-time role with the major-league club at some point in 2022.
May 12 2022Gil allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking five over four innings Thursday against the White. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was called up from Triple-A earlier in the day to make a spot start with the Yankees in the midst of a stretch of six games over five days. He flashed some good stuff by inducing 17 swinging strikes and racking up five punchouts, but a three-run second inning was largely to blame for an overall ineffective final line. Gil will likely head back to the minors, where he has struggled with a 9.53 ERA and 1.76 WHIP across 17 innings this season.
May 10 2022The Yankees will promote Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Thursday's game against the White Sox in Chicago, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil is likely just in line for one start with the Yankees, who are forced to add a temporarily sixth starter to the mix after last Sunday's doubleheader with the Rangers created a stretch of six games in five days. The 23-year-old Gil impressed with a 3.07 ERA and 38 strikeouts over 29.1 innings in six starts with the big club in 2021, but he hasn't come close to replicating that success at Triple-A this season. Through his 17 innings at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Gil has given up 19 runs (18 earned) on 18 hits and 12 walks while striking out 25.
May 5 2022Gil tossed five innings in a start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander finally had a solid outing, going five innings for the first time this season and registering a campaign-best nine punchouts. It's otherwise been a struggle for Gil at Triple-A this season, as he has registered a 9.53 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over five starts. The 23-year-old is considered one of the Yankees' top pitching prospects after posting a 3.07 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB across 29.1 innings in his first big-league stint in 2021.
Apr 4 2022The Yankees optioned Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: New York is expected to open the season with a traditional five-man rotation, and with Nestor Cortes having a leg up on that role based on his strong finish to the 2021 campaign, Gil was facing an uphill battle to crack the Yankees' Opening Day roster. Gil and Deivi Garcia have both had positive moments when given trials in the big-league rotation over the past couple of seasons, but both will have to bide their time at Triple-A and wait for an injury to one of the Yankees' five starters before getting another opportunity in the majors.
Oct 3 2021The Yankees recalled Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil fills DJ LeMahieu's (hernia) active roster spot before the final game of the regular season. The righty has been getting relief work at Triple-A and should be available to get middle-innings outs Sunday and potentially beyond.
Sep 29 2021Gil is working out of the bullpen at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in case he is needed in that role this week or in the postseason at the big-league level, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: New York's top pitching prospect wasn't going to crack a potential postseason rotation, but he could be of service in relief if he can have success in that role at Triple-A. Through two relief appearances at Triple-A, Gil has one dominant outing where he struck out six in two scoreless innings and one outing where he gave up two runs and only got one out, so the results are mixed. He will be in competition for a starting spot with the big club in spring training.
Sep 18 2021Gil (1-1) was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Saturday's game against Cleveland. He was charged with the loss after giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits while tallying six strikeouts and four walks over 4.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old struggled with his command and threw only 50 of 88 pitches in the zone, though he still induced 13 swinging strikes. Gil still has a strong 2.88 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 25 innings this season, but he'll head back to the minors since the Yankees need only four starters for the near future thanks to having two scheduled off days in the next nine days.
Sep 13 2021Gil tossed six innings allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk, striking out eight in the win over the Twins on Monday. He did not factor into the game's decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old struggled with the long ball in this one, surrendering his first three of the season. He was much more effective with his strike zone command Monday than in previous outings, only walking one after issuing 14 walks in 19 innings prior. Gil now owns a 2.88 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 25 innings on the year. He's projected to start next at home this Saturday versus Cleveland.
Sep 9 2021Gil didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on one hit and seven walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Recalled from Triple-A earlier in the day, Gil looked nothing like the pitcher who didn't allow a run in any of his first three big-league starts. He issued as many free passes Wednesday as he had in those three outings combined, tossing only 47 of 91 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, but the Yankees tied the game in the bottom of the fifth to help him escape his first loss. With Gerrit Cole (hamstring) not 100 percent, Gil's chances of sticking around in the rotation are a little better, but if he can't rein in the walks the Yankees will have to look to other options.
Sep 8 2021Gil was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Wednesday's start against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was sent down in mid-August and posted a 2.81 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 16 innings across his last three starts in the minors. The right-hander has tossed 15.2 scoreless innings in three major-league starts in 2021, and he'll be in contention to remain with the Yankees as a starter or high-leverage reliever if he performs well once again Wednesday.
Sep 6 2021Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Gil will likely be called from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays in New York, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nestor Cortes had been lined to start Wednesday's game, but Boone didn't suggest that Cortes nor any other member of the rotation would be replaced to make room for Gil. Instead, look for the Yankees to deploy a six-man rotation for at least this week, affording an additional day of rest for each member of the starting staff amid a heavy schedule of games. With another solid outing Wednesday, Gil could make a case for a more permanent stay with the big club, either as a starter or a high-leverage reliever. Over his first three big-league starts, Gil didn't allow a run over 15.2 innings while posting an 18:7 K:BB.
Aug 22 2021Gil won't start Monday's game against Atlanta, Sweeny Murti of Sports Radio 66 WFAN reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was expected to start Sunday's series finale against the Twins before the game was postponed due to inclement weather. The Yankees will remain on turn in the rotation rather than recalling the right-hander, so Jordan Montgomery will start Monday, while Andrew Heaney will take the mound Tuesday.
Aug 21 2021Gil and the Yankees won't play Sunday against the Twins after the game was postponed due to inclement weather. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was slated to be recalled to start Sunday's series finale against Minnesota, but the game won't be played since Hurricane Henri is forecasted to hit the East Coast. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will start Monday's series opener against Atlanta.
Aug 20 2021Manager Aaron Boone said that Gil is likely to be recalled to start Sunday against the Twins, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The announcement from Boone comes as little surprise given that Gil has yet to give up a run in any of his three big-league starts. He was sent back to Triple-A after allowing three hits across 4.2 scoreless innings in his start against Boston on Tuesday. If he does indeed take the ball Sunday, Jordan Montgomery's next start will be pushed back to Monday.
Aug 17 2021Gil was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox. He started Game 2 and took a no-decision after allowing three hits with four strikeouts and four walks over 4.2 scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil had a chance to pick up his second big-league victory, but he was pulled during the fifth inning after loading the bases with two outs. He served as the 27th man for the twin bill, so he could rejoin the Yankees for another start quickly despite the demotion. However, New York's rotation has recently been fortified by the returns of Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery from the COVID-19 injured list. Still, Gil has pitched well enough that he should receive another major-league chance before long.
Aug 15 2021Gil is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start one game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus Boston, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil made his second big-league start last Sunday and has yet to allow a run through 11 innings, but he was still sent back to Triple-A so the Yankees could take advantage of the roster spot. The 23-year-old seems likely to return to the minors after Tuesday's twin bill, especially with Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery both poised to be activated from the injured list after testing positive for COVID-19.
Aug 8 2021Gil was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was dominant in his second major-league start Sunday, as he allowed two hits and two walks while striking out eight in five scoreless innings in the loss to the Mariners. He didn't factor into the decision, but he's now tossed 11 scoreless frames to begin his big-league career. The right-hander served as a replacement player for Sunday's contest after Anthony Rizzo tested positive for COVID-19, so he'll head back to the minors to open a spot on the active roster. However, given Gil's back-to-back strong outings, it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the Yankees later this week or early next week.
Aug 4 2021Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Gil will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Sunday against the Mariners, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After throwing six shutout innings in his MLB debut Tuesday against the Orioles, Gil was optioned to Triple-A. Because he joined the roster as a replacement for a player placed on the COVID-19 injured list (Gerrit Cole), the rookie right-hander will be eligible to return to the Yankees before the usual 10-day minimum. If Gil can deliver another serviceable outing Sunday, he could have some staying power in a banged-up Yankees rotation that remains without Cole, Jordan Montgomery (COVID-19), Domingo German (shoulder), Corey Kluber (shoulder), Luis Severino (groin/elbow) and Michael King (finger).
Aug 3 2021Gil (1-0) was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after earning the win Tuesday versus the Orioles. He gave up four hits with six strikeouts and a walk across six scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old was pressed into his major-league debut after Gerrit Cole tested positive for COVID-19, and the young righty delivered a fantastic performance against Baltimore. Gil pounded the zone and threw 62 of 88 pitches for strikes while allowing only four singles. The demotion is a tough break following the strong performance, but Gil could receive another big-league opportunity down the stretch after shining in his debut.
Jun 15 2021The Yankees promoted Gil from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil will move up to the Yankees' top affiliate after he excelled over his seven starts with Somerset, posting a 2.64 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB in 30.2 innings. The 23-year-old righty becomes the second highly regarded Yankees prospect in the Triple-A rotation, joining Deivi Garcia.
Mar 9 2020Gil was optioned to High-A Tampa on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil was added to the Yankees' 40-man roster in November to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, which allowed him to work in major-league camp during spring training. However, he'll report to High-A Tampa after making his debut at the High-A level last season. The 21-year-old could potentially advance in the minor-league system in 2020, but he'll require more work against higher-level competition before being considered for a major-league roster spot.
Nov 20 2019Gil was added to the Yankees' 40-man roster Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gil began the season at Low-A Charleston and earned a promotion to High-A Tampa after posting a 2.39 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 112:39 K:BB in 17 starts. The 21-year-old will now get a chance to showcase his stuff at spring training and could begin the season at Double-A Trenton.
Jul 25 2019Gil was promoted from Low-A Charleston to High-A Tampa on Thursday, Josh Norris of Baseball America<\/a> reports.Subscribe now<\/a> to instantly reveal our take on this news.
