Yankees Activate Luis Gil, Padres Activate Nestor Cortes

News summary

The New York Yankees have activated right-handed pitcher Luis Gil from the 60-day injured list, marking his 2025 season debut after suffering a high-grade lat strain during spring training. Gil, the reigning American League Rookie of the Year, has been out since February but is expected to contribute significantly to the Yankees' rotation amid ongoing pitching injuries, including those to Gerrit Cole and Jonathan Loáisiga, who was placed on the injured list to make room for Gil. Gil's return comes as the Yankees aim to strengthen their pitching staff after missing out on acquiring a new starter at the trade deadline and facing recent losses against the Miami Marlins. The 27-year-old is reportedly under a strict pitch count initially but is eager to join both veteran and young pitchers on the team. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres have activated left-hander Nestor Cortes Jr. from the 60-day injured list, with the southpaw potentially making his debut for the Padres soon. Both teams are looking to bolster their rotations as they navigate injury challenges late in the season.
