The Yankees are facing challenges with their pitching rotation, with Clarke Schmidt returning while Luis Gil's return is pushed back due to insufficient healing from a high-grade lat strain. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that although there has been progress, Gil's timeline will require at least another 10 days before he can begin rehabilitation. The Yankees are cautious about rushing Gil, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, amid injuries to other key pitchers, aiming for his potential return by late June if all goes well.
On a night Clarke Schmidt was expected to return to the mound, the Yankees disclosed that Luis Gil will need more time before beginning his progression.
The next hope is Gil will begin throwing in 10 days. 'It's going as it should,' Boone said, 'We just need another 10 days.'
The Yankees will not rush the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, even if their rotation has been both hurting and hard-hit.
The loss of Gil has hurt in part because the Yankees have not, so far, been able to unearth another finding like Gil was last year.
