• Yankees' Luis Gil: Sent to Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 25, 2026

  The Yankees optioned Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. With multiple off days to begin the season, the Yankees will operate with a four-man rotation early on. Gil will be recalled once a fifth starter is needed April 11 against the Rays. The right-hander had a strong Grapefruit League showing with a 24:5 K:BB over 19.1 innings.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Heading to minors

  Rotowire Mar 24, 2026

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Tuesday that Gil will be optioned to the minor leagues to start the regular season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. New York is beginning the season with a four-man rotation since a fifth starter isn't needed until April 11 in Tampa Bay, and Gil will stay stretched out in the minors rather than sticking in the majors as a bullpen piece. The right-hander missed the first four months of 2025 due to a lat strain but returned for 11 regular-season starts down the stretch, posting a 3.32 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 41:33 K:BB across 57 innings. Gil surrendered 10 earned runs (including six homers) with a 24:5 K:BB over 19.1 innings during spring training, so he'll begin the minor-league season with decent momentum despite the incoming demotion.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Odd man out to begin season

  Rotowire Mar 23, 2026

  Pitching coach Matt Blake said Sunday that Gil won't be in line for a starting role to begin the season while the Yankees plan to get by with a four-man rotation for the first 13 days of their schedule, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. "He'd like to be a starter with us, so it's frustrating," Blake said. "But at the same time, he understands the position we're in with the way the schedule lines up for the first two weeks." The Yankees won't need a fifth starter until April 11, so Gil would appear to be tentatively in line to make his first start of the season that day against the Rays. According to Blake, the team hasn't decided whether Gil will be sent to the minors over the first two weeks, or if he'll be used in a piggyback/long-relief role until he's needed in the rotation. After missing the first four months of the 2025 season while recovering from a lat strain, Gil went on to go 4-1 with a 3.32 ERA and 41:33 K:BB in 57 innings over his 11 starts with the Yankees. He's looked sharper this spring, submitting a 19:4 K:BB in 14.1 innings during the Grapefruit League.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Racks up six Ks in spring start

  Rotowire Mar 5, 2026

  Gil tossed three scoreless innings in a Grapefruit League game against Boston on Wednesday, allowing two hits and issuing two walks while striking out six batters. Gil needed a hefty 53 pitches to complete three frames, but he got eight whiffs and racked up six punchouts. The right-hander has looked great through three spring outings, allowing two runs on six hits over eight innings while registering an 11:3 K:BB. Gil appears to be locked into an Opening Day rotation spot while Gerrit Cole (elbow), Carlos Rodon (elbow) and Clarke Schmidt (elbow) begin the season on the shelf, but he'll probably need to pitch well in order to keep that role once those injured hurlers return to action.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Reaches agreement with Yankees

  Rotowire Jan 8, 2026

  Gil and the Yankees agreed to a one-year, $2.16 million contract with the Yankees on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. This was Gil's first year of arbitration eligibility, and he's set to nearly triple his salary from 2025. He was sidelined for much of last season due to a lat strain, though he made 11 starts across the final two months of the campaign and should have a role in the rotation to begin the 2026 season.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Takes Game 1 loss

  Rotowire Oct 4, 2025

  Gil took the loss in Saturday's ALDS Game 1 against the Blue Jays after giving up two earned runs on four hits and zero walks while striking out two batters over 2.2 innings. Both of the runs scored against Gil came via the long ball, as Vladimir Guerrero's first-inning homer and Alejandro Kirk's second-inning blast would prove to be all Toronto needed to ensure a victory during a 10-1 win over New York. It's unlikely that Gil makes another start during the ALDS, but because manager Aaron Boone pulled the plug on his outing after just 48 pitches, the 27-year-old righty may be available to pitch out of the bullpen within the next game or two.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: On ALDS roster

  Rotowire Oct 4, 2025

  Gil is listed on the Yankees' roster for the ALDS. Gil was left off the Yankees' active roster during the wild-card round, but he'll now officially rejoin the pitching staff ahead of his start in Game 1 on Saturday. The 27-year-old righty faced the Blue Jays once in the regular season, giving up just one earned run on three hits and four walks while striking out one batter over six innings.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Delivers quality start Tuesday

  Rotowire Sep 24, 2025

  Gil didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the White Sox, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three. The right-hander made only one real mistake, but Colson Montgomery drove it over the fence in the sixth inning for a two-run homer. Gil has produced quality starts in three of four September outings, posting a 2.78 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 22.2 innings on the month despite a concerning 10:12 K:BB. Gil currently lines up to pitch on the final day of the season, at home against the Orioles, but the Yankees could change their rotation plans depending on whether they're still in a battle with the Blue Jays for the AL East title by then.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Flounders in no-decision

  Rotowire Sep 18, 2025

  Gil didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins, allowing five runs (four earned) on nine hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out two. It was quite a shaky performance for Gil, who permitted a season-high nine hits and tied a season worst in runs allowed. The hard-throwing right-hander stumbled after entering Wednesday on a streak of seven consecutive starts with at least five innings and two runs or fewer given up, and he's issued multiple walks in all but one of his nine outings this year. Gil has a favorable home matchup against the last-place White Sox lined up for next week, though his 1.50 WHIP and 36:29 K:BB are major causes for concern despite his solid 3.33 ERA through 46 innings.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Walks four in win

  Rotowire Aug 26, 2025

  Gil (2-1) allowed a run on five hits and four walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over the Nationals. Gil gave up one run in the third inning but was otherwise able to work around some traffic on the bases. He continues to struggle with his command; since making his season debut Aug. 3, Gil has walked at least three batters in four of his five appearances. However, he's allowed two or fewer runs in four consecutive outings. He generated 12 whiffs Tuesday, marking the second time he's forced double-digit swinging strikes this season. Gil is now sporting a 3.75 ERA with a lackluster 22:17 K:BB through 24 frames. He's currently lined up to face the White Sox in Chicago this weekend.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Punches out four in first win

  Rotowire Aug 16, 2025

  Gil (1-1) earned the win Friday against the Cardinals, giving up one run on four hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four. Friday was a mixed bag for Gil, who walked at least three for the second time in his first three starts but set season lows in runs and hits allowed. The hard-throwing right-hander has yet to reach six frames since returning from a lat strain, and he's still searching for a rhythm with a 5.14 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB across his first 14 innings. Gil will be looking to sharpen his control the next time he takes the mound, which is set to come at home versus the Red Sox.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Fans seven in no-decision

  Rotowire Aug 10, 2025

  Gil didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Astros, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out seven. It was a much better performance from Gil than in his season debut last Sunday, as Gil racked up 36 called or swinging strikes among his 91 pitches (60 total strikes). He left the mound with the Yankees holding a 4-2 lead, but Camilo Doval and David Bednar combined to blow another save. Gil will look for his first victory of 2025 in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in St. Louis.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Reinstated for 2025 debut

  Rotowire Aug 3, 2025

  The Yankees activated Gil (lat) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start against the Marlins on Sunday. The right-hander has been on the shelf all season while recovering from the lat strain he suffered during spring training, but he's ready to make his 2025 MLB debut Sunday in Miami. Gil threw 75 pitches over 4.1 innings during his final minor-league rehab outing Tuesday, so he's likely to have some minor workload limitations in his first few starts back with the Yankees. The 27-year-old was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 2024 after he posted a 3.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 171:77 K:BB across 151.2 innings.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Locked in for debut Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 31, 2025

  Gil (lat) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Marlins in Miami, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Yankees manager Aaron Boone previously said Tuesday that Gil was on track to make his 2025 MLB debut this weekend if he made it out of his final rehab start without issue, and the right-hander was able to do just that. During his fourth rehab appearance Tuesday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Gil built up to 75 pitches while striking out seven batters and yielding one earned run on three hits and one walk. The Yankees aren't likely to push Gil far past the 90-pitch mark Sunday, but the reigning American League Rookie of the Year should be capable of working deep enough into the start to qualify for a win. Gil has been on the shelf all season after he was diagnosed with a high-grade right lat strain in early March.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: In line for season debut Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 29, 2025

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Gil (lat) is lined up to make his season debut Sunday against the Marlins. Gil is slated to throw 75 pitches in his fourth rehab start Tuesday, and if he comes out of that outing with no issues, the right-hander will rejoin the Yankees' rotation Sunday in Miami. The reigning American League Rookie of the Year has been out all season while recovering from a right lat strain.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Fans seven in second rehab start

  Rotowire Jul 20, 2025

  Gil (lat) tossed 3.1 innings Friday in a rehab appearance with Double-A Somerset, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters. As in his first rehab outing, Gil completed exactly 3.1 frames, though he upped his pitch count from 50 to 57 on Friday. While he's allowed two homers over 6.2 innings in his pair of minor-league outings so far, the right-hander has also flashed dominant stuff with 13 punchouts. Per MLB.com, Gil is next scheduled to pitch July 23 with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he's slated to work up to 65 pitches in that start. If that goes well, Gil could be activated shortly thereafter.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Hits 50 pitches in first rehab start

  Rotowire Jul 14, 2025

  Gil (lat) struck out six and allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk over 3.1 innings in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A Somerset. Just as the Yankees had planned for him heading into the day, Gil reached his limit of 50 pitches in the rehab start, his first outing at any level since Oct. 29, 2024. The reigning American League Rookie of the Year Award winner was diagnosed with a high-grade lat strain early in spring training and is expected to be built up conservatively during his rehab assignment, which could last for as few as two or three more starts. According to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, the Yankees are considering bringing Gil back from the 60-day injured list once he reaches 75 pitches in his rehab program, though his assignment would be extended if the organization instead opts to activate him once he reaches the 90-pitch threshold.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Could be close to rehab stint

  Rotowire Jul 5, 2025

  Gil (lat) may be ready to start a minor-league rehab assignment next week, per MLB.com. Gil threw a live bullpen Thursday, and his next step could be to pitch in a minor-league contest. The right-hander hasn't logged any game action at all this season, as he was diagnosed with a high-grade right lat strain early in spring training. Gil is expected to be built up to 45-to-50 pitches at this point, so he'll likely need to make several rehab starts before he's ready to join New York's rotation.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Could resume mound work Friday

  Rotowire May 26, 2025

  Gil (lat) could throw off a mound Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. 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.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Closing in on throwing program

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2025

  Yankees 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. 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.
