Luis Gil's Yankees return date revealed as he faces one last hurdle
Luis Gil has one final hurdle to clear on Tuesday night, but if he does, the Yankees now have his return date circled on the calendar. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year is lined up to make his season debut on Sunday against the Marlins, manager Aaron Boone said on his weekly Talkin' Yanks appearance, as long as Gil gets through his last rehab start on Tuesday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The right-hander is expected to build up to around 75 pitches on Tuesday after throwing 67 his last time out as he continues to work back from a high-grade lat strain that he suffered in spring training. As the rotation currently lines up, Gil starting Sunday in Miami would give Max Fried (starting for the Yankees on Tuesday) an extra day before his next start against the Rangers on Monday. The Yankees could sorely use a healthy and impactful Gil over the final two months of the season to bolster the rotation behind Fried and Carlos Rodón. Luis Gil is set to return to the Yankees rotation on Sunday. Robert Sabo for NY Post Clarke Schmidt had been serving as a strong No. 3 before he was lost earlier this month to Tommy John surgery — joining Gerrit Cole, who like Gil, did not make it out of camp. Will Warren has made every start this season but has been inconsistent and is already nearing his career-high in innings. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Marcus Stroman missed two and a half months with a knee injury and had been solid upon his return before tossing a clunker on Saturday. Swingman Ryan Yarbrough had offered a surprise boost after entering the rotation in May, but was lost in June to an oblique strain that still has him on the IL. Luis Gil has one more rehab start Tuesday night. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post And the hard-throwing Cam Schlittler has shown glimpses of his potential in three big league starts, but still has some development to do, possibly back at Triple-A. All of that, even with Gil's looming return, makes it possible that GM Brian Cashman will add another starter before Thursday's trade deadline, even if bullpen arms are the bigger need for a club that has been in a funk that has now lasted over six weeks.

MLB trade deadline: All of our 2025 deals and grades in one place
As Major League Baseball's trade deadline approaches at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, here's where we will track each notable move. We previously dissected the mid-June trade of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. Click the links for recent trades below to find further context and grades for each side. Grade excerpt: 'If you told the Brewers they'd be right near the top of the National League the week of the trade deadline, you wouldn't think they'd even consider adding a catcher. But William Contreras, a centerpiece of the Milwaukee lineup in recent years, has had a down season and is working through a fracture in his hand. While the rest of the Brewers' lineup has surged in July, Contreras' OPS is under .600 this month. His backup, Eric Haase, has an OPS just north of .500 this month.' Advertisement Grade excerpt: 'I see no reason to love or hate this move for either side. The Tigers get a guy who will cover innings and give them another option down the stretch. Would they feel great giving Paddack the ball in the postseason? Not great, no, but he's been there before. And that's a nervous feeling that, in theory, the Tigers will address with a couple more trades this week. The Twins, meanwhile, get an undersized switch-hitting catching prospect who has a clearer path toward big league playing time in Minnesota than he did in the Tigers organization.' – Stephen Nesbitt Grade excerpt: 'The Yankees are in free fall, and are simply trying to make the postseason at this point. It's going to take a patchwork effort to make that happen, and that's exactly what Rosario represents. He's not a big piece of the puzzle, but he can help offensively.' — Sam Blum Grade excerpt: 'Grichuk represents a nice addition for a contending team. He's always hit lefties well and provides a strong veteran presence. The question is whether the Royals are real contenders. The stakes of this particular trade are low. But it telegraphs Kansas City as buyers when the team might not be in a great position to make a postseason run.' — Sam Blum Grade excerpt: 'McMahon is an excellent defender who will improve a Yankees club plagued by fielding lapses in recent weeks. (Or, years, depending on your perspective.) McMahon is a weaker hitter than impending free agent Eugenio Suárez, the other top third baseman on the market, but he affords some stability at the position beyond this year.' — Andy McCullough Advertisement Grade excerpt: 'Soto is more on the specialist side of the left-handed spectrum, so he's not going to help prevent José Buttó or Ryne Stanek from getting overworked, and he's not likely to absorb too many full innings as a bridge to the late-inning crew. It'll be more common for him to get pushed out of a plane with a parachute and orders to get Kyle Schwarber out with the bases loaded. Godspeed, southpaw.' — Grant Brisbee Grade excerpt: 'Naylor represents a significant upgrade. He's one of the hardest regulars in the sport to strike out; the Mariners have been a bottom-five team in strikeouts the past three seasons. It's a nice match. And while Naylor's barrel rate has lagged this season, he's still showing plenty of power and is a constant force against righties.' — Stephen Nesbitt (Top photo of Josh Naylor with his new team: Luke Hales / Getty Images

Eagles DC Vic Fangio honors his favorite Phillie and Hall of Famer Dick Allen
Before waxing coach talk about his players Tuesday at training camp, Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio opened his press conference unveiling a prized recent gift: a Philadelphia Phillies No. 15 Dick Allen jersey. "The guys, I asked them to get me this for me," Fangio said. "And they came through. My all-time favorite Phillie right there. He was their best player when I was young, and he was obviously a great player." Allen was posthumously inducted Sunday into the Baseball Hall of Fame after a far-too-long push by his former teammates, family and friends. The former Phillies and White Sox slugger was called to the Hall in December by the Classic Baseball Era committee. The Phillies retired Allen's No. 15 in 2020, months before he died at the age of 78. Allen was the first Black superstar to play for the Phillies, who were one of the last MLB teams pre-expansion to integrate. Last season, the Phils unveiled a "Pioneers in Pinstripes" display at Citizens Bank Park honoring Allen, John Irving Kennedy — the first Black player to play for the franchise — and other trailblazers in the organization's integration history. Allen finished his MLB career with 351 home runs and a .912 OPS in 15 seasons. He won the NL Rookie of the Year in 1964 with the Phillies. After facing racism for years in Philadelphia, Allen demanded a trade in 1970 and was moved to the St. Louis Cardinals. He spent a year with the Cardinals, then was traded to the Dodgers in 1971 and then to the White Sox in 1972, where he won the AL MVP. He finished his career with a 58.8 bWAR in an era largely defined by pitching dominance. "Dick was a sensitive Black man who refused to be treated as a second-class citizen," Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt, Allen's former teammate in Philadelphia, said during the 2020 ceremony. "He played in front of home fans that were products of that racist era (with) racist teammates and different rules for Whites and Blacks. Fans threw stuff at him, and thus Dick wore a batting helmet throughout the whole game. "They yelled degrading racial slurs," Schmidt added. "They dumped trash in his front yard at his home. In general, he was tormented and it came from all directions. And Dick rebelled." Fangio doesn't shy away from his Philadelphia sports fandom. The Dunmore, Pennsylvania, native is a die-hard Phillies fan — he wore a Phillies hat during his first press conference of training camp last week. In 2017, Fangio told The Athletic that he doesn't "sleep at night until I know whether the Phillies won or lost. Even if they're on the West Coast." On Tuesday, Fangio recalled playing 18 rounds of golf with Hall of Fame pitcher Rich "Goose" Gossage a couple of years ago. Gossage was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008. During his Cooperstown speech, Gossage said Allen was the "greatest player I ever played with." While golfing with Fangio, Gossage, who played with Allen with the White Sox, echoed that sentiment to the Birds' D-coordinator. "We played 18 holes. We rode the same cart, and obviously, I talked baseball with him," Fangio said. "Said [Allen] was the best teammate he had ever had."
