• Yankees' Luis Gil: Captures AL ROY

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Gill was named the 2024 American League Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year on Monday. Gil narrowly came away with the award by collecting 15 first-place votes in comparison to Colton Cowser's 13 first-place votes. Gil was certainly a worthy recipient of the honor after turning in a 3.50 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 171:77 K:BB across 29 starts (151.2 innings). However, there will be plenty of competition within the Yankees' rotation heading into the 2025 campaign, leaving no room for Gil to become complacent.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Allows four runs in no-decision

  10/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gil received a no-decision Tuesday, yielding four runs on five hits over four-plus innings as the Yankees took Game 4 of the World Series over the Dodgers. He walked two and struck out one batter. Gil served up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman in the first inning before settling in to face one over the minimum from the second to fourth frames. The right-hander remained in to start the top of the fifth but was pulled after allowing a leadoff homer to Will Smith and a walk to Tommy Edman. The Yankees' bullpen locked things down after that with five scoreless frames. Gil has lasted four innings in both of his postseason outings, yielding a total of six runs. He does not project to start another game during the World Series but could be available in relief, if needed, should the Yankees extend the series back to Los Angeles.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Will start Game 4

  10/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gil will start Tuesday against the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. Gil allowed three earned runs over 5.2 innings when he went up against the Dodgers in early June, and his performance has been trending downward as of late, as he's yielded 12 runs in 15 frames across his last three outings. He'll be following Carlos Rodon and Clarke Schmidt in the rotation, as his two teammates will start Games 2 and 3, respectively.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Available in relief for ALDS

  10/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Gil will be available out of the bullpen in the ALDS but will rejoin the rotation for the ALCS, should the team advance, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. Clarke Schmidt was the choice for the Game 3 start over Gil, but it sounds like Gil would re-enter the rotation for a potential ALCS even if Nestor Cortes (elbow) winds up being available. Boone noted that he'll be flexible with what kind of relief role Gil fills in the ALDS, as it could be anything from bulk relief to high-leverage, one-inning situations.

• Yankees' Luis Gil: Stumbles in Saturday's loss

  09/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gil (15-7) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits -- including four home runs -- and a walk over 5.2 innings as the Yankees fell 9-4 to the Pirates. He struck out five. The only other time this season Gil served up multiple homers came back on Apr. 26, when the Brewers socked two off him in a no-decision. It's a rough ending to a brilliant regular season, but the 26-year-old righty still heads into the playoffs with a 3.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 171:77 K:BB through 151.2 innings. Gil should have a big role in the Yankees' postseason rotation, but with a bye for the wild-card round, it's not yet clear when he'll next take the mound.
