Luis Gil Stats

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (elbow) has progressed to live batting practice. Gil hasn't pitched at all since May of 2022 after having Tommy John surgery. He was able to face hitters for the first time on Friday, which is a big step on the road to a full recovery. The 25-year-old should be able to return later this year as long as he doesn't have any setbacks along the way. But even if Gil is able to make it back in 2023, there's no guarantee that it would be in a starting role for the Yankees. In his seven starts for New York in 2021 and 2022, Gil went 1-1 with a 3.78 ERA (4.12 FIP), 1.38 WHIP, 21 walks and 43 strikeouts over 33 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can continue to ignore him.

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Friday after having Tommy John surgery last May. It was Gil's first time throwing off a mound since having right-elbow reconstruction. The 24-year-old is slowly working his way back, and he could be an option for either New York's starting rotation or bullpen at some point in the second half of 2023. He allowed four runs on five hits while walking two and striking out five in his only start in 2022, and Gil has made just seven starts in his two seasons in the big leagues to this point. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting much from him the rest of this year, but he could be an option in deeper leagues if he joins the Yankees' rotation later on.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery on his elbow. The 23-year-old was removed from his last start on Wednesday due to an elbow issue. He made a spot start with the Yankees earlier this month before heading back to the minors. The Yankees wanted Gil to continue working in the minors before eventually returning to the big league team. This is certainly a hit to the Yankees pitching depth.
