Gil earned AL Rookie of the Year honors in 2024, compiling a 3.50 ERA and 15-7 record with 171 strikeouts in 151 2/3 innings. Yet he struggled through injuries in 2025, including tightness in his right shoulder during the spring and an eventual lat strain that sidelined him for the first four months of the season. He made 11 starts, finishing with a 3.32 ERA but struck out only 6.5 batters per nine innings.
