Scouting Report: Gilberto Jimenez

Summary

Luis Gil, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, has been placed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The 27-year-old right-hander will not throw for at least three weeks. This injury comes after a frustrating 2025 season where he missed the first four months with a lat strain, returned in August with a 3.32 ERA but saw his strikeout rate drop 10 percentage points. In 2026, Gil struggled significantly in four MLB starts with a 6.05 ERA before being optioned to Triple-A on April 27. The Yankees believe this shoulder inflammation is a new injury unrelated to his poor April performance. Gil's career has been derailed by recurring injuries over the past 18 months.
