Yankees Right-Handed Pitcher Luis Gil Impresses in His Second Rehab Start, Nears Return
SOMERSET, NEW JERSEY, JUL 18 – Luis Gil, recovering from a high-grade lat strain, will make one final minor league rehab start before potentially rejoining the Yankees' depleted pitching rotation this season.
- During his second rehab start, Luis Gil threw 57 pitches in a 3 1/3-inning outing, and Aaron Boone said he was pleased with what he saw.
- A high-grade right lat strain suffered in spring training sidelined Luis Gil for the season, and Gerrit Cole’s Tommy John surgery compounded New York’s need for pitching depth.
- Gil is scheduled for a rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, and Aaron Boone said he will be bumped to 65 pitches.
- After another promising outing, Aaron Boone said `I think the fastball is playing`, suggesting Gil’s rehab outings could offer more than temporary relief to a struggling rotation.
- With the trade deadline looming, every potential start carries heightened importance as July 31 approaches, and getting Gil back around the trade deadline could boost New York’s rotation.
