Gil allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and five walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision Thursday versus the Red Sox.
Gil continues to walk too many batters, with the five free passes issued Thursday marking a season high. He was once again able to avoid getting hurt by the high number of baserunners, but his pitch count got up early and he was done at 93 pitches (52 strikes). For the season, Gil has a mediocre 4.26 ERA, but it could be worse given his 1.68 WHIP and 17:13 K:BB through 19 innings over four starts. The right-hander's next start is projected to be a favorable home matchup versus the Nationals.

Yankees' Luis Gil: Punches out four in first win
Rotowire
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.
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.
Gil (0-1) yielded five runs on five hits and four walks over 3.1 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against Miami.
Gil was reinstated from the injured list to make his 2025 debut after recovering from a lat injury. He couldn't find his groove against a red-hot Marlins squad; Gil coughed up three runs in the second inning and was charged with two more when Kyle Stowers knocked a home run off reliever Brent Headrick in the fourth. Gil threw 77 pitches (44 strikes) but forced only five whiffs. He threw 75 pitches in his final rehab outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, so he should be expected to have a fairly regular workload moving forward. He's projected for a home matchup against the Astros next weekend.
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.
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
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: Likely to make another rehab start
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that there's "probably a good chance" Gil (lat) will make another rehab start before being activated from the injured list, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.
Gil is feeling good after making his third rehab start Wednesday, when he threw 3.1 innings at Double-A Somerset. Still, the Yankees are considering keeping GIl on assignment for another start. The 26-year-old hasn't pitched in an MLB game this season due to a high-grade lat strain.
