  • Manager Aaron Boone called the session a “touch and feel” step and stressed that Gil’s return will follow a cautious, deliberate timeline.
  • The Yankees are targeting Gil’s return around the All-Star break to strengthen a rotation missing Gerrit Cole for the season.

  • General manager Brian Cashman initially forecast a summer return and the organization continues to oversee each phase of Gil’s rehab closely.
