Yankees' Luis Gil: Poised to return this weekend
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that there's a "very good chance" Gil (back) will rejoin the rotation this weekend against the Cubs, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Gil made what's expected to be his lone rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Sunday, getting charged with three runs while striking out six over 3.2 frames. He threw 80 pitches in the outing, so the righty should be sufficiently stretched out for a pretty typical workload versus the Cubs. Clarke Schmidt (lat) is also expected back in the rotation this weekend, so the Yankees appear poised to operate with a six-man setup for now. Eventually, one or both of them could be shifted to relief ahead of the postseason.
