Bridgewater, New Jersey - The New York Yankees have announced that RHP Luis Gil is currently scheduled to commence an MLB rehab assignment with the Double-A Somerset Patriots on Sunday, September 1 at TD Bank Ballpark. The Patriots take on the Reading Fightin Phils (Philadelphia Phillies) at 1:05 pm.

The Yankees placed Gil on the 15-day injured list on 8/21/24 with a lower back strain. Gil is 12-6 with a 3.39 ERA and 144 strikeouts over 124.2 innings pitched in 24 games started.

Acquired in a trade with the Minnesota Twins for CF Jake Cave on 3/16/18, Gil made his MLB debut for New York on 8/3/21 vs. Baltimore and earned the win with 6 scoreless IP, 4 H, 1 BB and 6 K. From 8/3/21 - 9/8/21, Gil recorded a career-opening 18.2 scoreless inning streak, the longest by a Yankee in franchise history. He finished the season 1-1 with a 3.07 ERA and 38 K over 29.1 IP in 6 starts.
