Yankees RHP Luis Gil (lat) begins rehab assignment
Gil, 27, was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2024 but has been sidelined all season. During spring training, he reported tightness in his pitching shoulder and eventually was diagnosed with a high-grade lat strain.
On June 21, he threw to batters in a workout at Yankee Stadium and now has progressed to game action.
Last season, Gil finished 15-7 with a 3.50 ERA in 29 starts. He struck out 171 in 151 2/3 innings but allowed 77 walks, the most in the majors.
The Yankees have been juggling their pitching rotation with the preseason losses of Gil and former Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery). More recently, left-hander Ryan Yarbrough (right oblique strain) and right-hander Clarke Schmidt (Tommy John surgery) were placed on the injured list.

India face anxious wait over scan results on Rishabh Pant's right foot
India are anxiously awaiting the results of scans on Rishabh Pant's right foot that could have considerable 'consequences' on the fourth Rothesay Test against England. Pant brought trademark chaos after India had slipped from 94 without loss to 140 for three at Emirates Old Trafford, slog sweeping Jofra Archer for four and belting Brydon Carse for a straight six. But he inside-edged a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes' yorker flush on to his boot, which he removed to reveal a foot that became increasingly swollen and bruised as he received lengthy treatment. Pant, who has made 462 runs at 77 in this series, retired hurt on 37 and was taken off the field in agony on a golf buggy, leaving his availability for the rest of the Test in major doubt. He went for scans and Sai Sudharsan, who top-scored with 61 in India's 264 for four and was at the other end when Pant was injured, admitted the tourists are waiting with baited breath on the outcome. 'He was in a lot of pain,' Sudharsan said. 'He's gone for scans and we'll get to know overnight. 'He was batting really well here. We miss a batter if he doesn't come back again, so it would definitely have consequences. We'll try to give our best and bat long so that we negotiate that loss.' England spinner Liam Dawson, who marked his first Test appearance in eight years by taking the prize wicket of India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for 58, believes Pant's situation is bleak. 'Our thoughts are with him, it didn't look a great injury so I hope he's alright,' Dawson said. 'He's obviously a very good player but I can't see him taking much more part in this game.' Dawson admitted he thought his hopes of an England recall had vanished before Shoaib Bashir's Test summer was ended by a finger injury he sustained in last week's nail-biting win at Lord's. The 35-year-old claimed figures of one for 45 from 15 overs, having Jaiswal caught at slip for his first Test wicket in 2,929 days since dismissing ex-South Africa batter Hashim Amla at Trent Bridge. 'I've said to a few people that the age I'm at, I thought Test cricket was gone,' Dawson said. 'To be back involved is really cool and I've got to try and enjoy each day that I get. 'I do feel I'm a better bowler than what I was a few years ago. I was nervous. I'd not played for a number of years. The biggest thing for me is I understood what to expect whereas before, I didn't. 'Hopefully I'll get a couple more. It's one wicket, I've done nothing special.' However, Ashes 2005-winning captain Michael Vaughan has seen enough to convince him Dawson, rather than Bashir, should be England's frontline spinner for this winter's blockbuster Ashes series in Australia. It is Dawson's all-round abilities – he has more than 10,000 first-class runs with 18 hundreds and is regarded as a fine fielder – that makes him such an attractive option for Vaughan. 'He is a good cricketer,' Vaughan told the BBC'S Test Match Special. 'He has been around the blocks. He knows his game. You could see that from the first ball he bowled. 'I think England are a better team with him in the side. On the pitches we are seeing in the UK and potentially Australia, I want to see a batting line-up that is absolutely packed. 'He has the all-round package and for this England side, and going forward to Australia, they are stronger with this style of cricketer in it.'

Nick Lodolo dominates Nats; Reds still haven't been swept in 3-game series
July 23 - Nick Lodolo tossed a four-hit shutout and the visiting Cincinnati Reds averted a series sweep when they beat the Washington Nationals 5-0 on Wednesday. Jake Fraley and Santiago Espinal had two hits each for the Reds, who had lost three straight. Lodolo (8-6) stuck out eight without a walk. He threw 105 pitches in his first career shutout. The Nationals didn't put a runner in scoring position until the eighth inning when Luis Garcia Jr. doubled. Cincinnati was on the verge of being swept in a three-game series for the first time this season and the Nationals were looking to sweep a series for the first time since May 16-18 versus the Baltimore Orioles. Nationals starter Michael Soroka (3-8) allowed a run on two hits over 5 2/3 innings. He struck out six and walked three. Leading 1-0, the Reds added two insurance runs in the eighth. Austin Hays singled with one out and went to third on Fraley's single. Noelvi Marte then doubled, scoring Hays, and Fraley came home on Jose Trevino's flyout. Will Benson nearly made it 5-0, but Washington's Jacob Young climbed the center field fence to rob Benson of a home run. With runners on first and second in the ninth, Cincinnati's Matt McLain bunted and when third baseman Brady House's throw to first was wild, Espinal scored. TJ Friedl came home on a double play to make it 5-0. Washington's James Wood singled with one out in the bottom of the first but was caught stealing. Two Reds reached with two outs in the third, but Soroka retired Gavin Lux, who went 4-for-4 on Tuesday night. Elly De La Cruz walked to lead off the fourth, stole second with one out and scored on a single by Fraley for the game's first run. The Reds had runners on first and second with two outs in the sixth, but Cole Henry relieved Soroka and got Trevino to fly out. Espinal singled with one out in the Cincinnati seventh, but Konnor Pilkington came on and got the next two outs. --Field Level Media

India wait on results from Pant injury scan
India are waiting on the results of a scan to key man Rishabh Pant after the wicketkeeper suffered a foot injury on the opening day of the fourth Test against was hit on the right foot attempting a reverse-sweep at England pace bowler Chris Woakes and had to be taken from the field on a 27-year-old was in clear discomfort from a visible lump on the side of his foot."He was in a lot of pain, definitely," said Sai Sudharsan, who was batting with Pant at the time."He's gone for scans. We will get to know more overnight, and probably get the information tomorrow."Losing Pant would be a huge blow to the tourists, who must avoid defeat at Old Trafford to stay in the left-hander returned to Test cricket last September, almost two years after a car crash in which he nearly lost his life.A flamboyant and unpredictable presence at number five, he has been in sparkling form in this series. He made two centuries in the first Test, then passed 50 in both the second and was on 37 on Wednesday in Manchester, sharing a crucial stand with Sudharsan. After Pant was injured, Sudharsan was out for 61, leaving India 264-4 at the close."Obviously it would be a very big loss, because he was batting really well today," added Sudharsan"We will also miss a batter if he doesn't come back, so it will definitely have consequences. At the same time, we have a few more all-rounders in the side, so we will try to bat long to negotiate that loss." England spinner Liam Dawson said he does not expect Pant to be able to return in this match."Thoughts are with him, that didn't look a great injury," said Dawson, who took a wicket in his first day of Test cricket for eight years."We hope he's alright. He's a very good player, but I can't see him playing much more of a part in this game."Pant suffered a finger injury during the third Test at Lord's. He was still able to bat, but unable to keep wicket, meaning Dhruv Jurel had to stand in behind the would be able to make a similar move here, though the Laws of the game limit Jurel's involvement to wicketkeeping. He would not be able to take Pant's place as a the tight nature of the first three Tests, former England captain Michael Vaughan believes a serious injury to Pant would be a "huge play" in the series."The Rishabh Pant injury is such a play in the game," Vaughan told Test Match Special. "For India to lose a player who was playing with such control, clarity and flamboyancy at times."The shot he tried to take on was ridiculous really, trying to reverse-sweep a bowler bowling 80mph."I'm no expert, but when you see a foot like that, I can't imagine we're going to see too much more of Rishabh Pant. It's quite possible India will be playing against England for 10 men with the remaining four days."
