Luis Gil Throws Bullpen Session
3 months agoNew York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (back) threw a bullpen session on Sunday. The Yankees are now deciding whether Gil will throw a live batting practice session or appear in a minor-league rehab game. Manager Aaron Boone said it's possible it could be a minimum stay on the 15-day injured list for Gil. The 26-year-old is recovering from a strained lower back and could rejoin the Yankees' pitching staff when he's first eligible on Sept. 6. Because the injury isn't considered all that serious, the Yankees plan on keeping Gil in the starting rotation to close out the year when he returns from his IL stint. The Dominican hurler has been relevant in all fantasy leagues in his first full MLB season and is currently sporting a 12-6 record, 3.39 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 144 strikeouts in 124 2/3 innings over 24 starts. Gil hadn't thrown more than 29 1/3 frames in the big leagues before 2024, though, so fantasy managers have to be concerned he's tiring down the stretch.
