Luis Gil Stats

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil failed to make it to the fifth inning for the third time in his last four starts in Saturday's loss to the Indians. Gil pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs, two earned, on three hits while walking four batters. He struck out six. Gil generated an impressive 13 whiffs, eight of them on his slider, which has been an excellent pitch for him this season. Control issues have popped up lately for the 23-year-old, who has walked a whopping 16 batters in his last four starts. There's no doubting Gil's long-term ability or fantasy value, though it's hard to trust him in redraft leagues down the stretch with his less-than-stellar ratios.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil produced an odd statistical line in Monday's no-decision against the Twins. Gil pitched six innings, allowing five earned runs on seven hits while issuing one walk. The young right-hander struck out eight batters while inducing a very impressive 16 whiffs, 13 of them on his slider. There's no doubt that Gil can rack up strikeouts as well as swings and misses, though he has yet to rediscover his form from earlier this year, having allowed seven walks in his last outing and now five runs on Monday. Gil has a bright future in the big leagues, but it's too risky to count on him in redraft formats right now.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil struggled in Wednesday's no-decision against the Blue Jays. Gil lasted just 3 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on one hit while walking a whopping seven batters. The righty did strike out six batters, generating an impressive 14 whiffs, but the control issues that plagued him in the minors showed up big time against Toronto. The 23-year-old Gil has obvious strikeout upside, though he'll need to exhibit better control of the strike zone if he wants to stick around in the Yankee rotation. Gil is worth going back to in fantasy circles if given another start by the Yankees, though games like Wednesday's show how risky he can be as a fantasy asset.
