Gil optioned to Triple-A after rough start in Houston

Yankees pitcher Luis Gil was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following a poor outing in New York's 7-4 loss to the Houston Astros on April 26, 2026. Gil struggled with command and generating swing-and-miss, surrendering a 432-foot two-run homer to Christian Walker and a two-run homer to Isaac Paredes, exiting in the fifth inning having recorded zero strikeouts. Manager Aaron Boone cited inconsistency in Gil's delivery and fastball profile as key reasons for the demotion.
