Gil (back) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Cubs, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that the right-hander was likely to return from the injured list this weekend, and Gil is now penciled in for Friday's series opener in Chicago. The 26-year-old threw 80 pitches across 3.2 frames in his lone rehab outing, so he shouldn't have any significant workload limitations in his first start back with New York. With Clarke Schmidt (lat) making his return from the 60-day IL on Saturday, it appears the Yankees will employ a six-man rotation for the near future.
