Luis Gil to Start Game 1 of ALDS Against Toronto
New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil will make the start in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday in Toronto against the division-rival Blue Jays, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. "He's ready for this," manager Aaron Boone said. Gil was left off the playoff roster for the wild-card series against the Boston Red Sox, with the Yankees rolling with lefties Max Fried and Carlos Rodon and rookie-right-hander Cam Schlittler to start three games. With the Yankees advancing past Boston, they'll use Gil to kick things off in the ALDS. The 27-year-old Dominican only made 11 starts in 2025 due to injury, but he was good when he pitched, going 4-1 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 41:33 K:BB in 57 innings. He led the league with 77 walks last year, so Gil is going to need to display better command in the ALDS to avoid getting a quick hook. In a start against Toronto on Sept. 6 at home, Gil picked up the win, allowing just one earned run in six innings, although he walked four and only struck out one.
