2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gil underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2022 and made it back for two appearances at Triple-A in September of 2023. His mid-to-upper-90s fastball velocity was back, averaging 96 mph while touching 99 mph. His devastating high-spin slider was also at its pre-surgery 85-86 mph velocity. This is his last season with a minor-league option, so the 25-year-old righty may move back and forth between Triple-A and the majors, particularly if the Yankees want to keep developing him as a starter. While Gil's repertoire is pretty shallow -- he'll flash a decent changeup but it is rarely used -- the biggest swing skill for him will be his command, as his fastball and slider are good enough pitches to turn a lineup over twice if he's locating them. He's had a walk rate north of 14 percent during four of his six assignments since 2021, and the hope is that his control will be passable as he gets further removed from surgery. If he does get moved to the bullpen, Gil has the stuff to pitch in high-leverage situations. Read Past Outlooks

Allows four runs in no-decision
PNew York Yankees
October 30, 2024
Gil received a no-decision Tuesday, yielding four runs on five hits over four-plus innings as the Yankees took Game 4 of the World Series over the Dodgers. He walked two and struck out one batter.
ANALYSIS
Gil served up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman in the first inning before settling in to face one over the minimum from the second to fourth frames. The right-hander remained in to start the top of the fifth but was pulled after allowing a leadoff homer to Will Smith and a walk to Tommy Edman. The Yankees' bullpen locked things down after that with five scoreless frames. Gil has lasted four innings in both of his postseason outings, yielding a total of six runs. He does not project to start another game during the World Series but could be available in relief, if needed, should the Yankees extend the series back to Los Angeles.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2020
Gil's elbow gave out during a start last May at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and he wound up needing Tommy John surgery. His recovery has gone as anticipated but we're unlikely to see him as an option for the Yankees until at least the second half. Gil was arguably the most electric young arm the Yanks had prior to surgery, but he's had trouble taking the ball every fifth day and also throwing strikes. He probably won't have any fantasy value in 2023, but there's still plenty of time for him to turn into something.
Gil stands out for his monster fastball and his swagger on the mound. The ease with which he gets to upper-90s velocity with excellent spin is rare, and the heater projects as at least a plus pitch long term. His fastball enables his mid-80s slider to play up -- he can land the breaker for strikes or get hitters to chase out of the zone. Gil had above-average vertical movement on his fastball and above-average horizontal movement on his slider, with each pitch generating whiffs at an above-average clip. He will need to improve his seldom-used changeup and his control in order to start long term, but considering he doesn't turn 24 until June and has already had some success in the majors, Gil's development is ahead of schedule. From a size, stuff and command standpoint, there are some similarities to Dylan Cease, so patience is recommended in dynasty leagues. The Yankees probably won't want to go into the season relying on him to be a regular member of the rotation, but if he can show some improvement with the changeup or the control, there will inevitably be opportunities for him to start again this season.
Gil might have the best fastball in the minors, but as things stand, he is most likely to end up as a reliever long term. A 6-foot-3, 176-pound Dominican righty the Yankees acquired from the Twins straight up for Jake Cave in 2017, Gil only really needed his upper-90s fastball to dominate Low-A hitters. The pitch has elite velocity and remarkable late life, but perhaps most impressive is the fact he has a low-effort delivery for someone who regularly touches triple digits. Once he got to High-A, his shaky command and inconsistent offspeed pitches led to some of the shine coming off. He missed the final month of the season with biceps tightness, but was added to the 40-man roster this offseason. His real-life upside is high in the rotation or the bullpen, but he'd need to improve his secondary offerings and his command for us to get really excited about his fantasy prospects.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fatigue angle downplayed
PNew York Yankees
July 7, 2024
Yankees manager Aaron Boone and Gil both downplayed the idea that the right-hander is suffering from fatigue and instead cited some mechanics issues following Tuesday's game against the Reds, reports Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.
ANALYSIS
Gil is scheduled to start against the Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball, but his last three starts, all losses, have been ugly with 16 runs allowed and a 6:9 K:BB in 9.2 frames. He's also plunked five batters during that stretch. The 26-year-old was one of the best pitchers in baseball through his first 14 starts of the year with a 2.02 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 10.8 K/9 over 80 innings, but that form has disappeared across the past few weeks. Coming off a lost season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Gil is already nearing the career high of 108.2 innings he pitched between the majors and minors in 2021, and his workload during the second half could be serious concern.
