Yankees’ Luis Gil back on mound for first time since suffering lat strain
NY Post
LOS ANGELES — Luis Gil took the next step of his rehab process Friday — onto the mound.
The reigning AL Rookie of the Year still has a ways to go before he could rejoin the Yankees from the high-grade lat strain he suffered in spring training, but his 15-pitch bullpen session Friday marked the latest box he has checked on the road back.
“I heard [it was] good,” manager Aaron Boone said Friday at Dodger Stadium before the Yankees’ 8-5 loss to the Dodgers. “Another good step for Luis.”
Gil began his throwing program April 27 after being shut down for eight weeks following the diagnosis.
Since he missed almost all of spring training, he will need to go through the equivalent of that (six weeks), but he still is behind where pitchers normally are when they report to camp.
Given that, the best-case scenario may be getting Gil back at some point after the All-Star break in July since he still has to throw multiple bullpen sessions, multiple live batting practices and a rehab assignment to build up his pitch count.
