The New York Yankees have been without Luis Gil all season, but the reigning American League Rookie of the Year is making his way back to the Yankees rotation.

Luis Gil is still at least a month and likely more away from the real thing, but on Saturday morning, he climbed the mound at Yankee Stadium and faced hitters for the first time since spring training.

In a stretch of more than a week with few positives, the Yankees got one Saturday morning before they faced the Orioles. Luis Gil was back on the Yankee Stadium mound throwing to hitters.
