Luis Gil: Everything you need to know

Gil took a no-decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five. Following a shaky season debut against the Rays, Gil struggled once again Wednesday. Control remained an issue -- the right-hander walked multiple batters in his second straight outing and threw just 48 of his 83 pitches for strikes -- and three of his hits allowed were home runs. Gil has now coughed up seven runs on just eight hits (four homers) and five walks over his first nine innings, so he shapes up as a dangerous fantasy option next week versus Boston.

Gil (0-1) took the loss against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two across four innings. Gil was handed an early 2-0 lead thanks to his teammates, but he quickly lost the lead after yielding a two-run homer to Yandy Diaz. Gil gave up another run in the third and wasn't able to receive enough run support to avoid the loss. He was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre earlier in the day to serve as the Yankees' No. 5 starting option after the team initially went with a four-man rotation to open the season. Gil is projected to start next week at home against the Angels.

The Yankees recalled Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Gil was left out of the Yankees' Opening Day rotation as the club initially operated with a four-man setup, but he's now up to fill in the No. 5 spot and will start Friday's game versus the Rays. The 27-year-old miss much of last season with a lat strain, finishing with a 3.32 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 41:33 K:BB across 57 regular-season innings covering 11 starts. Gil will need to pitch well to keep a rotation spot once Carlos Rodon (elbow/hamstring) and Gerrit Cole (elbow) are ready.
