Scouting Report: Lyle Lin

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 was shut down and won't throw for at least three weeks. This comes after a frustrating stretch where he missed the first four months of 2025 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 26. The Yankees believe this shoulder inflammation is a new injury unrelated to his poor April performance. Gil has been pushed down the rotation depth chart with the acquisition of Ryan Weathers.
