Yankees activate Gil (back strain) from injured list The Yankees are getting a needed boost for the stretch run with the activation of Luis Gil from the injured list on Thursday ahead of the ri...
Activated ahead of Friday's start The Yankees activated Gil (back) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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 could shift him to relief and perhaps even use him as their closer, but for now Gil will be part of the rotation.

Returning to rotation Friday Gil (back) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Cubs, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.

Poised to return this weekend Yankees 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 r...
Impact 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.

Beginning rehab stint Sunday Gil (back) is scheduled to pitch in a minor-league rehab game Sunday, per MLB.com.
Impact 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.

Rehab start early next week Yankees 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.
Impact Gil got through a live batting practice session Tuesday with no issues and it would appear a rehab start is tentatively slated for Monday. That could set him up to return as soon as next weekend, although the Yankees' rotation situation is fluid right now with Clarke Schmidt (lat) also nearing a return and likely to beat Gil back. 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.

Faces hitters Gil (back) threw live batting practice with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact 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.

Throws bullpen session Gil (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Impact 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.

Impact Gil tweaked his back during Tuesday's game against the Guardians and landed on the IL a day later. He will be eligible to return in early September and it sounds like he should have a shot to be back by then. Boone also added that he foresees Gil returning as a member of the Yankees' rotation, rather than the righty moving to the bullpen.

Sent to IL with back strain The Yankees placed Gil on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a lower-back strain.
Impact Gil missed most of the past two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he had enjoyed good health thus far in 2024 until he was lifted from his start Tuesday against the Guardians due to the back issue. Will Warren was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre in a corresponding move and could step in as the Yankees' new No. 5 starter in place of Gil, who may be a drop candidate in redraft leagues since he won't be eligible to return from the IL until Sept. 5. The Yankees and fantasy managers alike have already gotten far more than they likely expected from Gil, who had generated a 3.30 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 144 strikeouts over 124.2 innings through his first 24 starts of the season.

Exits with trainer Gil was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with an apparent injury, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact It's not immediately clear what Gil is dealing with, but the Yankees' training staff saw something they didn't like and made the decision to pull him. The 26-year-old righty was able to get through three innings before leaving the game, during which he gave up three runs on three hits and six walks while striking out three batters.

Suffers sixth loss Gil (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.
Impact 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.

Grabs win in Game 1 of twin bill Gil (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...
Impact 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.
