Overview

• Luis Gil allowed two runs on two hits over 3⅓ innings with seven strikeouts and two walks on 50 pitches in his second rehab start on July 18.
• He consistently reached 93-98 mph on his fastball and generated swings and misses with a slider sitting at 87 mph.
• Gil expects one more minor league outing before the Yankees sit down to decide on his activation for the big league rotation.
• New York was forced to start Ian Hamilton and lean heavily on its bullpen after Gerrit Cole, Clarke Schmidt, Cam Schlittler and Max Fried all went down with injuries.
• With only Carlos Rodón, Marcus Stroman and Will Warren currently available, the Yankees are banking on Gil’s return to shore up a depleted rotation.
