BRIDGEWATER, N.J. -- New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil struck out six in 3u2153 innings in a rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Sunday.
The 27-year-old Gil allowed one run on Charles McAdoo's leadoff homer for New Hampshire in the fourth. He walked one while throwing 50 pitches, 36 for strikes.
Gil has been sidelined since spring training because of a right lat strain. He had to delay the beginning of his throwing program in April because the injury was healing slowly.
The return of Gil could provide a big lift for New York's depleted rotation.
