Two key New York Yankees' hurlers are nearing a return from the IL.
' pitching staff has dealt with a slew of injuries this year, but they're about to get a lot stronger in the regular season's final month.
Gil, who was placed on the 15-day IL on August 21 with a lower back strain, made his first minor league rehab start for Double-A Somerset on Sunday. The hard-throwing righty went 3.2 innings, allowing three runs on four hits. He tossed 80 pitches , walked two and struck out six batters for the Patriots.In addition to Gil, right-hander Clarke Schmidt is scheduled to make his third and likely final rehab start on Monday.
