Overview

  • Gil is slated to throw a 50-pitch outing on July 13 for Double-A Somerset in his first step back from a spring training lat strain.
  • Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt have been ruled out for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, leaving New York’s rotation stretched thin.
  • Manager Aaron Boone has implemented a conservative pitch-count plan that will ramp up Gil’s workload through successive minor-league starts.
  • Max Fried, Carlos Rodón and rookie Will Warren have carried the bulk of the rotation while Marcus Stroman and Ryan Yarbrough have logged time on the injured list.
  • Gil posted a 15-7 record with a 3.50 ERA and 171 strikeouts en route to winning the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year award.
