Luis Gil's Yankees return date revealed as he faces one last hurdle
Luis Gil has one final hurdle to clear on Tuesday night, but if he does, the Yankees now have his return date circled on the calendar. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year is lined up to make his season debut on Sunday against the Marlins, manager Aaron Boone said on his weekly Talkin' Yanks appearance, as long as Gil gets through his last rehab start on Tuesday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The right-hander is expected to build up to around 75 pitches on Tuesday after throwing 67 his last time out as he continues to work back from a high-grade lat strain that he suffered in spring training. As the rotation currently lines up, Gil starting Sunday in Miami would give Max Fried (starting for the Yankees on Tuesday) an extra day before his next start against the Rangers on Monday. The Yankees could sorely use a healthy and impactful Gil over the final two months of the season to bolster the rotation behind Fried and Carlos Rodón. Luis Gil is set to return to the Yankees rotation on Sunday. Robert Sabo for NY Post Clarke Schmidt had been serving as a strong No. 3 before he was lost earlier this month to Tommy John surgery — joining Gerrit Cole, who like Gil, did not make it out of camp. Will Warren has made every start this season but has been inconsistent and is already nearing his career-high in innings. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Marcus Stroman missed two and a half months with a knee injury and had been solid upon his return before tossing a clunker on Saturday. Swingman Ryan Yarbrough had offered a surprise boost after entering the rotation in May, but was lost in June to an oblique strain that still has him on the IL. Luis Gil has one more rehab start Tuesday night. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post And the hard-throwing Cam Schlittler has shown glimpses of his potential in three big league starts, but still has some development to do, possibly back at Triple-A. All of that, even with Gil's looming return, makes it possible that GM Brian Cashman will add another starter before Thursday's trade deadline, even if bullpen arms are the bigger need for a club that has been in a funk that has now lasted over six weeks.

Aaron Boone 'Losing Grip' as Yankees Melt Down in Toronto; 'Close to Dead Day'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees added to their error total on the season Wednesday, with four by four different fielders — including one by pitcher Max Fried and another by Ben Rice in just his 20th appearance at first base — in an 8-4 loss to the first-place Toronto Blue Jays. The defensive meltdown, which also included a botched fly ball by right fielder Cody Bellinger that was not ruled an error but led to a standup triple for Toronto's Ernie Clement, left the Yankees four games off the American League East pace. The game also featured the fourth ejection of the season for Manager Aaron Boone, leading one Yankee observer to worry that "Boone keeps losing his grip."

Cox/Getty Images "With 60 regular-season games remaining, the Yankees still have plenty of time to get their act together," wrote Yardbarker scribe Clark Dalton. "Still, they should do it soon for Boone's sake. He seems like he's reaching his breaking point." Cody Bellinger loses the ball in the lights, and Ernie Clement makes his way to third base 🫨 — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) July 24, 2025 Boone has lost his cool off the field as well as on it this week. During his regular appearance on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast Tuesday, Boone grew "clearly agitated," Yardbarker reporter Adam Gretz noted, and went into a "rant." The trigger came when the Yankees skipper was asked whether his players have been overly controlled and unemotional when commenting on the misplays and painful losses that have plagued the team over that past several weeks. "I don't care what you want," Boone snapped. "These are answers of pestering, everyday questions. I want our guys in a good like, boom. We are locked in, when it's (expletive) and when it's really good, and all in between." A Ben Rice fielding error leads to another run for the #BlueJays. Toronto leads the #Yankees 6-4 in the sixth. — Bronx Bombers News (@NewsBronx) July 24, 2025 Robert Casey, founder of the popular Bleeding Yankee Blue site, displayed no sympathy for Boone following Wednesday's hard-to-watch defeat. The loss was the third in the Yankees' last five games. The Yankees have played at a sluggish 21-26 pace since they held a seven-game lead in the American League East on May 28. "Boone is awful and needs to be canned. Sure, suggest I'm being dramatic, but the truth is I'm right," Casey wrote on Thursday. "Bad leaders destroy a franchise. Google it." Casey has been especially critical of Boone's support shown toward shortstop Anthony Volpe, who is tied with the San Francisco Giants' Willy Adames for the MLB lead among shortstops for most errors with 13. More MLB: Yankees' Anthony Volpe Enters 'Death Spiral' as Offense Collapses "Volpe could boot three ground balls and strike out looking twice, and Boone would still run out like a helicopter parent screaming at the ump for hurting his 'special boy's' feelings," Casey wrote. "It's not just cringe -- it's deeply weird. A grown man managing a professional baseball team should not act like he's defending his son in tee-ball." The Yankees as a team are now tied for eighth overall in MLB with 53 errors. "I've been calling for Boone's firing since Aaron Judge had baby cheeks. And at long last, baseball insiders are starting to see what I've been yelling about," Casey concluded. "We're getting close to Boone's dead day." After an off day Thursday, the Bronx Bombers face another tough assignment when they host the Philadelphia Phillies for a three-game set at Yankee Stadium.

Aaron Boone goes off on media in fiery defense of Yankees' effort: ‘I don't care what you want'
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free Aaron Boone has had it with people questioning the Yankees' effort — and the hyper-analyzing of his and his player's remarks to the media. The Yankees manager went off during his weekly appearance on Jomboy's 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast during a discussion about the team's 10-17 record against AL East opponents this season, Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero's dive into home plate during Monday's game and the notion that their rivals might want the games more than them. Advertisement Boone turned his fury toward the media and made it clear he wants his team to be even-keeled. 'Understand the pestering, bantering, leading questions that are being asked of our guys,' a fired-up Boone said. 'And I don't want them to just fly off the handle and be emotional. We've been pretty good over the years of compartmentalizing and dealing with the everyday grind of the regular season and playing in New York, and you start getting emotional and going down that road, it's a bad trait.' 3 Aaron Boone (c.) talking to Jomboy (l.) and Talkin' Jake (r.) on the 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast. YouTube/Talkin' Yanks 3 A fiery Aaron Boone (c.) talking to Jomboy (l.) and Talkin' Jake (r.) on the 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast. YouTube/Talkin' Yanks Advertisement Boone also has an issue with the interpretations of players' comments after games and the idea that because they're not outwardly upset, that they perhaps aren't too concerned about results. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS 'Everyone's different. Stop with the reaction of how a guy answers a frickin' question. Seriously,' Boone said. 'We gotta win. OK? We are obsessed with it and hell-bent preparation-wise and guys give a rip. … Some people will give you colorful answers. … Some guys throw their helmet. Does that make you feel good? Some guys are calm. Stop it. It doesn't mean a guy cares more or less because he dives into home plate. It's you've gotta be angry at something because we didn't win.' Advertisement Jomboy said that the urgency Boone insists the Yankees feel doesn't come across. 'You're cherry-picking the answers you like that you're like, 'yeah, that's tugging at my fandom in the right way.' Sorry, they're not robots,' Boone said. Jomboy then said he wanted more non-robotic answers. Advertisement 'I don't care what you want,' Boone fired back. 'These are answers of pestering, everyday questions. I want our guys in a good like, boom. We are locked in, when it's s–tty and when it's really good, and all in between. I want us locked. I want us showing up every day ready to prepare and ready to go. Period. It's a hard game.' 3 Aaron Boone Brett Davis-Imagn Images The Yankees (55-45) lost to the Blue Jays, 4-1, Monday night to fall four games behind Toronto for the AL East lead. That was their fifth straight loss to a division foe after being swept by the Blue Jays in four games earlier this month.

Yankees moving All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base after 28 consecutive starts at third
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is returning to his natural position. After starting 28 games in a row at third base, the two-time All-Star is moving back to second, where he began the season, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone told the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast on Tuesday. Advertisement That change starts Tuesday night as the Yankees host the Seattle Mariners in the opener of a three-game series. "He's playing second tonight," Boone said of Chisholm, who has been dealing with right-shoulder soreness when throwing recently. Boone added, when asked on "Talkin' Yanks" if that will be where Chisholm plays going forward: "Yeah, I think so. We'll continue to work through it. Again, depending on all the moving parts and things that could possibly happen, but I think right now I want to move him back over there." Boone said that utility man Oswald Peraza will play third Tuesday against the Mariners, but the eighth-year Yankees manager described his approach to third base as "fluid." Advertisement While Chisholm has been playing third, veteran DJ LeMahieu has served as the team's primary second baseman upon returning from a calf injury. Chisholm was named an infield reserve for this year's All-Star Game over the weekend. He's currently slashing .245/.341/.500 with 15 home runs, 38 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 59 games. Chisholm told The Athletic earlier this month that he "only worked at second base" in his offseason drills. "Everybody knows I'm a second baseman,' Chisholm said at the time, via The Athletic. 'Of course, I want to play second base, but whatever it takes to help the team win. If that's what the team chooses, that's what I gotta do. I don't write the lineups. You feel me? Advertisement "I'm playing every day, so it's hard to be upset. Yes, I know I'm a second baseman. Yes, I know I'm better at second base, but at the end of the day, I still have to play third. I just have to deal with it." Chisholm's plus-3 outs above average in 251 innings at second base is significantly better than his minus-3 outs above average in 238 innings at third. He played third base for the Yankees last season after he was traded at the deadline by the Miami Marlins. Even though Chisholm hadn't played third before, he gave it a go while Gleyber Torres was reluctant to move from second base. Advertisement Chisholm's move to third this season happened after he was on in the injury list in May with an oblique strain. During Chisholm's absence, Yankees primary third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera suffered a season-ending ankle injury. LeMahieu, 36, is batting .266 this season with two homers and 12 RBI. Meanwhile, Peraza offers great infield versatility, having already scattered 38 starts across third (25), second (10) and shortstop (3) this season. Boone's infield change comes on the heels of New York finally snapping a six-game losing streak. The Yankees, now 49-41, no longer have control of the AL East. They're trailing the red-hot Toronto Blue Jays by 3.5 games.
