Overview

• Gil threw about 20 live pitches during the session at Yankee Stadium and notched four strikeouts in his first live batting practice since late February.
• Manager Aaron Boone said Gil’s fastball reached 95–96 mph and praised the outing as "free and easy."
• Gil halted bullpen work on Feb. 28 and was diagnosed with a high-grade lat strain on March 3, leading to a six-week shutdown and a mid-April delay to his throwing program.
• The Yankees plan to build up Gil’s live sessions and pitch counts to around 75–80 before assigning him to rehab games.
• If progress remains steady, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year could return to the rotation in late July or early August, bolstering a staff that has been without his arm.
