Impact After throwing six shutout innings in his MLB debut Tuesday against the Orioles, Gil was optioned to Triple-A. Because he joined the roster as a replacement for a player placed on the COVID-19 injured list (Gerrit Cole), the rookie right-hander will be eligible to return to the Yankees before the usual 10-day minimum. If Gil can deliver another serviceable outing Sunday, he could have some staying power in a banged-up Yankees rotation that remains without Cole, Jordan Montgomery (COVID-19), Domingo German (shoulder), Corey Kluber (shoulder), Luis Severino (groin/elbow) and Michael King (finger).

Likely to return for weekend start The Yankees are expected to call up Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make a second turn through the rotation Sunday versus the Mariners, Jack Curry of YES Network reports...

Impact Summoned from Triple-A on Tuesday in response to Gerrit Cole's (illness) move to the COVID-19 injured list, Gil turned in a memorable first MLB start, holding the Orioles scoreless while striking out six over six innings en route to picking up the win. Though the Yankees optioned him following the start, the transaction appears to be mostly for roster-management purposes. Under normal circumstances, Gil would have to remain in the minors for 10 days before being eligible to rejoin the Yankees, but because he was a replacement for a player on the COVID-19 IL, he can return to the 26-man active roster at any point.

Impact The 23-year-old was pressed into his major-league debut after Gerrit Cole tested positive for COVID-19, and the young righty delivered a fantastic performance against Baltimore. Gil pounded the zone and threw 62 of 88 pitches for strikes while allowing only four singles. The demotion is a tough break following the strong performance, but Gil could receive another big-league opportunity down the stretch after shining in his debut.

Yanks lefty Montgomery joins Cole on sideline with COVID-19

Yankees left-hander Jordan Montgomery has tested positive for COVID-19, joining fellow starter Gerrit Cole among New York players sidelined by the virus

AUGUST 3, 2021 • Associated Press

Named Tuesday's starter The Yankees announced Gil has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Impact When he met with the media Monday, manager Aaron Boone said that he was leaning toward having Nestor Cortes make a spot start Tuesday in place of Gerrit Cole, who tested positive for COVID-19. After further consideration, the Yankees will instead turn to one of their top pitching prospects in Gil to fill the rotation opening. Since being promoted from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A in mid-June, Gil hasn't been overly successful over seven starts (5.83 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 37:23 K:BB in 29.1 innings), so the 23-year-old right-hander may have a short leash in his MLB debut. How he fares against Baltimore will likely dictate whether or not he gets the ball again when Cole's next turn in the rotation comes up Sunday in Seattle.

Call-up appears imminent Gil's recent social media activity suggests that he was informed Monday that the Yankees intend to call him up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-...

Impact The Yankees have yet to confirm Gil's promotion, but the club will have an opening on the active roster with Gerrit Cole expected to be placed on the COVID-19 injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orioles. Since Cole is confirmed to have tested positive for the virus, he'll remain out for at least 10 days, leaving a major void in the rotation. While manager Aaron Boone suggested that Nestor Cortes would likely take the hill in Cole's stead Tuesday, the Yankees will have another hole in the rotation to fill Thursday or Friday against the Mariners since Domingo German (shoulder) was placed on the IL over the weekend. Gil would make for a logical plug-in option, given that he hasn't pitched at Triple-A since July 27. Over 14 starts (61 innings) this season between Triple-A and Double-A Somerset, the 23-year-old right-hander has submitted a 4.13 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 13.0 K/9.

Having trouble in Triple-A Gil has struggled since his promotion to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 5.32 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 26:17 K:BB across five starts (22 innings).

Impact The difference between the top two levels of the minors for Gil has been night and day; his control issues were easily overlooked with Double-A Somerset, but the more patient hitters of Triple-A have worked out more walks and driven the ball far more against him. After giving up just two homers in 30.2 Double-A innings, he's already served up six since his promotion. At the end of the day, Gil has a great fastball but fairly modest offspeed stuff, which means he's probably destined for the bullpen. The Yankees haven't made that move yet, but they probably will, particularly if he keeps scuffling through Triple-A starts.

Moves up to Triple-A The Yankees promoted Gil from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

Impact Gil will move up to the Yankees' top affiliate after he excelled over his seven starts with Somerset, posting a 2.64 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB in 30.2 innings. The 23-year-old righty becomes the second highly regarded Yankees prospect in the Triple-A rotation, joining Deivi Garcia.

JUNE 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to minors Gil was optioned to Double-A Somerset on Friday.

Impact Gil is on the Yankees' 40-man roster, but he has yet to pitch beyond the High-A level and wasn't in contention to make the Opening Day roster. The right-hander got into one game during spring training, pitching a perfect inning against Detroit.
