After his latest outing against the Houston Astros , the Yankees demoted Gil to Triple-A , via the team’s X, formerly Twitter account. A corresponding move has not yet been announced.
Against the Astros, Gil pitched four innings of six run baseball, allowing five hits and three walks without registering a strikeout. The Yankees would fall 7-4, ending their eight-game win streak.
Through his first four starts at the MLB level in 2026, Gil has posted a 6.05 ERA and a 9/11 K/BB ratio. He has allowed six home runs, which is already one more than he gave up over 11 starts during the 2025 season.
Gil’s struggles have spanned over the past two seasons. While he held a 3.32 ERA over those 11 starts, it came with a 41/33 K/BB ratio. The Yankees are waiting for Gil to return to his Rookie of the Year form.

Now, that journey will held back to Triple-A. The right-hander has posted questionable numbers there as well, with a 5.88 ERA and a 115/55 K/BB ratio. However, his entire 96 appearances in the minors have resulted in a 3.68 ERA and a 454/200 K/BB ratio.
In the majors, Gil holds a 3.53 ERA and a 164/139 K/BB ratio. With a ROY under his belt, the Yankees are well aware of what he brings to the mound. However, they are looking for consistent results as they chase a World Series title. As it stood, Gil wasn’t living up to his past title.
