The New York Yankees<\/a> will send right-hander Luis Gil<\/a> to the mound against the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> Saturday to open the American League Division Series, manager Aaron Boone told reporters Friday.<\/p>\n

It was previously announced that Toronto will start righty Kevin Gausman<\/a> in Game 1. <\/p>\n

Gil, 27, was sidelined by a lat injury for more than half of 2025 but was effective upon his return, turning in a 3.32 ERA in 11 starts down the stretch of the season. He did not pitch in the Yankees\u2019 three-game Wild Card Series victory over the Boston Red Sox<\/a> earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Gil, the reigning American League Rookie of the Year Award winner, faced the Blue Jays once during the regular season, holding them to one run over six innings in an eventual 3-1 win on Sept. 6. <\/p>\n

The Yankees will send ace Max Fried<\/a> to the hill in Game 2 Sunday evening, Boone said. <\/p>\n

The first two games of the best-of-five series will be played at Rogers Centre in Toronto before shifting to New York for Game 3 on Tuesday, Oct. 7. If necessary, Game 4 would go next Wednesday in the Bronx before heading back to Toronto for a potential Game 5 next Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Yankees will send right-hander Luis Gil to the mound against the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[712,49,48,94732,462,92085,82],"class_list":["post-189289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-luis-gil-sports-baseball-player-player-statscom-877821","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-yankees-sports-baseball-team-team-statscom-234","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
