Luis Gil Targeting a Return to the Mound in Several Weeks
Luis Gil (lat) is till on track in his throwing program, according to manager Aaron Boone, and he's targeting a return to the mound in two to three weeks. Gil suffered a strained right lat during a bullpen session in spring training in Tampa on Feb. 28 and has was placed on the 60-day injured list on March 24 before the start of the regular season. Even if the 26-year-old doesn't suffer any setbacks as he continues to ramp up is right arm, he may not be able to make his 2025 debut until July. It's been a disappointing development so far this year for Gil, who was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 2024 after going 15-7 with a 3.50 ERA (4.14 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 171 strikeouts and a league-high 77 walks in 151 2/3 innings over 29 regular-season starts. If he doesn't lower his walk rate when he returns, it could be rough sledding for Gil.
