Luis Gil To Make A Rehab Start On Sunday
3 months agoNew York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (back) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Sunday, according to manager Aaron Boone. It will be Gil's first start since he left his start on Aug. 20 against the Cleveland Guardians after three-plus innings with lower-back discomfort. Gil landed on the 15-day injured list the next day, although Boone called the injury "minor." He was able to throw a successful bullpen session on Aug. 25 and threw roughly 65 pitches in a live batting practice session with Double-A Somerset on Aug. 27. The Yankees are planning to have Gil return in a starting role instead of as a long man out of the bullpen, which is good news for fantasy managers holding him. The 26-year-old Dominican has had a triumphant return from Tommy John surgery in 2024, although he did allow seven earned runs in seven innings in his two starts before landing on the IL.
