"Luis Gil will take the ball for the New York Yankees in Saturday's ALDS opener against the Toronto Blue Jays, manager Aaron Boone announced Friday. "Just feel like he's ready for this. He's in line for it," Boone said, noting that rookie Will Warren will remain an option out of the bullpen. Gil, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, missed the first half of this season after a lat strain but returned in August to post a 3.32 ERA across 11 starts."
"Boone and the Yankees reportedly debated between Gil and Warren for Game 1 before going with the more experienced right-hander. Gil struggled in limited postseason action last fall, allowing six runs over eight innings in two starts. However, he impressed against Toronto on September 6, holding the Blue Jays to one run over six innings. Boone also confirmed that left-hander Max Fried will start Game 2 on Sunday. The Yankees have yet to announce a Game 3 starter for Tuesday's home matchup."

Gil missed the first half of 2024 with a lat strain, returned in August, and posted a 3.32 ERA across 11 starts. The Yankees considered Gil and Warren for the opener before choosing Gil, who had uneven postseason results last fall but limited Toronto to one run over six innings on September 6. Max Fried is slated to start Game 2; the Game 3 starter has not been announced. The Yankees aim for consecutive postseason series wins after eliminating Boston.
