Luis Gil: Everything you need to know

Gil was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after his start Sunday against the Astros. Gil was tagged with a loss after he tossed four innings, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks in Sunday's 7-4 defeat in Houston. The right-hander was coming off a scoreless outing in Boston, tossing 6.1 innings while striking out two Tuesday, but he couldn't repeat his success versus the Astros. Gil now owns a 1-2 record while posting a 6.05 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with nine punchouts over 19.1 innings in four starts with New York in 2026. He will now have to wait for his next chance with the big-league squad.

Gil (1-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing two hits and three walks with two strikeouts across 6.1 shutout innings. After allowing four homers and seven earned runs across nine innings in his first two starts of the season, Gil was able to keep the Red Sox off the scoreboard Tuesday. Walks are still a problem for Gil, and he's also not striking out many batters. The right-hander now owns a 4.11 ERA and 9:8 K:BB across 15.1 innings. He's likely to make his fourth start this coming weekend against Houston, but Gil could be the odd man out of the rotation once Carlos Rodon (elbow/hamstring) is ready to make his season debut.

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.
