Luis Gil has been a Yankees savior as Gerrit Cole’s replacement
NY Post
Two months ago, when the Yankees decided Luis Gil would fill the rotation spot of Gerrit Cole, they would have signed up for health and league average results from the young righty.
A month ago you could begin to see Gil rising into play for AL Rookie of the Year.
Today you can make a case that Gil should be in play to start the All-Star Game and for the AL Cy Young and, give me a second to consult my notes here to remember who earned those distinctions last year. Oh yeah, it was Cole.
In the most stunning element in a brilliant first third of this season for the Yankees, nothing is close to Gil replacing Cole — in every way.
“He’s got amazing talent, a great ceiling and he’s delivering,” Aaron Boone said.
The manager made his statement after Gil authored 6 ¹/₃ one-hit shutout innings Thursday in a 5-0 triumph that allowed the Yankees to split a four-game series with the Mariners and return to their high-water mark of 18 games over .500.

SALT LAKE CITY — The “Dimes” nickname is open in New York now that quarterback Daniel Jones has been released by the Giants, and perhaps it can be a fitting team-wide moniker in another sport.
General Curtis LeMay: “You’re in a pretty big fix, Mr. President.”
Last spring’s ultimate defeat, coming on top of a quite similar one 24 months earlier, should have proved once and for all that the Rangers’ skill game, impressive at it at may be in spurts, does not overcome their physicality deficiency at the final-four level.
Jon Berti, who started three postseason games at first base for the Yankees when Anthony Rizzo was out with fractured fingers, was non-tendered by the team prior to Friday’s deadline, as was left-hander Tim Mayza.
CALGARY, Alberta — The Rangers needed just 16 seconds to get back into a game they had no business being in over halfway through.
