Scouting Report: Isiah Gilliam
Chicago Cubs | RF
Overall
Summary
Luis Gil, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, has been placed on the 60-day 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 18-month stretch marked by a significant lat strain that caused him to miss the first four months of the 2025 season. Upon his return in August 2024, he posted a 3.32 ERA but saw his strikeout rate decline 10 percentage points. In 2025, Gil struggled significantly, posting a 6.05 ERA across four starts with a 12.9% walk rate before being optioned to Triple-A. Manager Aaron Boone indicated this shoulder inflammation is a new injury unrelated to his poor MLB performance in April.
Strengths
- 2024 AL Rookie of the Year award
- Posted 3.32 ERA in 57 innings after returning from lat strain in August 2024
