New York Yankees Announce Gil Update
Also on Saturday, the Yankees announced the latest update on Luis Gil.
MLB.com wrote (on August 15): “Continued rehab assignment with High-A Hudson Valley on Aug. 15, tossing two scoreless innings with two strikeouts and one walk on 30 pitches (17 strikes). Could be a relief option down the road.”
According to the site, he could return to action as soon as this month (or next).
The 28-year-old had been in Triple-A at the time of his injury.
“Potentially that. But we’ll see. I know he’s going one inning tonight, and then I think he goes again in four days. So, yeah, we’ll see.”
Looking At Gil
Gil has spent five seasons at the MLB level.
He got off to a strong start to his career, winning the 2024 American League Rookie of The Year Award.
That year, Gil went 15-7 with a 3.50 ERA in 29 starts.
Gil had struggled during his limited action at the MLB level this season.
Before getting sent to Triple-A, he had gone 1-2 with a 6.05 ERA in four starts.
In 2024 and 2025, Gil also appeared in three total MLB playoff games.
