Luis Gil has taken a significant step in his recovery from a high-grade lat strain by resuming his throwing program ahead of schedule. The Yankees' right-hander began his program at Yankee Stadium, marking the first time he has thrown in nearly eight weeks since being sidelined. Manager Aaron Boone described this as an encouraging development, expressing optimism for Gil's recovery process. However, Gil is not expected to rejoin the Yankees’ rotation until at least June.

Meanwhile, DJ LeMahieu is progressing in his own recovery from a calf strain and has played back-to-back games in a rehab assignment, demonstrating strong performance with five hits in eight at-bats. Additionally, Jonathan Loáisiga successfully completed a rehab outing after elbow surgery, throwing a perfect inning. The Yankees also called up Yerry De Los Santos as their 27th man for a doubleheader, showcasing the depth of their roster as they navigate through injuries.
