Gil wrapped up his final rehab outing Friday night for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, delivering a sharp line. The right-hander went 4.1 innings, three hits, one earned run, a walk, and seven strikeouts on 75 pitches. That was the target Yankees manager Aaron Boone had set earlier in the day, and Gil hit it cleanly.

The reigning AL Rookie of the Year has one final hurdle to clear on Tuesday night, but if he does, the Yankees now have his return date circled on the calendar.
