MILWAUKEE — The chances of Luis Gil getting back to the big leagues to impact the Yankees in the short term were already fairly slim.

Now they are zero, at least for the next six weeks or so.

Gil landed on the injured list at Triple-A on Friday with right shoulder inflammation and will be shut down from throwing for at least three weeks, manager Aaron Boone said. The time spent not throwing for pitchers is typically equal to the time it takes to build back up, meaning it could be at least six weeks until Gil returns to game action.

The former AL Rookie of the Year was optioned back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on April 26 after making four starts and posting a 6.05 ERA. But Boone indicated that this shoulder issue did not have a hand in Gil’s poor results.

“No, I think it’s new,” Boone said before the Yankees opened a series against the Brewers with a 6-0 loss.

Gil, who missed the first four months of last season after straining his lat in spring training, did not pitch in another game at Triple-A after being optioned there nearly two weeks ago. Boone said Gil was examined by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad and went through a battery of tests before this diagnosis.

The Yankees had replaced Gil in the big league rotation with top prospect Elmer Rodríguez, who was sent back to Triple-A earlier this week with Carlos Rodón set to come off the IL for his season debut Sunday. Gerrit Cole is also expected back perhaps by the end of May, making Gil’s potential path back to the big leagues even cloudier — and that was before he got hurt.

Ben Rice returned to the lineup Friday for the first time since Sunday after missing four games with a bruised left hand. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

The slugging first baseman made enough improvement to be available off the bench for Thursday’s win over the Rangers, then became a full go Friday.

“I was able to swing at full intent again, so pretty easy choice,” Rice said.

Jasson Domínguez, who suffered a mild sprain of the AC joint in his left shoulder Thursday after making a running catch into the left field wall, will likely not do any baseball activities or even run for 7-10 days, Boone said. In better news, the outfielder was still not experiencing any concussion symptoms.

Giancarlo Stanton (right calf strain) did not make the trip with the Yankees either, staying back in The Bronx to hit, though he has still not been able to move around much.

The Yankees called up Kervin Castro on Friday to give their bullpen a fresh arm, marking the right-hander’s first time back in the big leagues in 1,357 days — battling through injuries in between. He pitched the final two innings, allowing one run on two hits with no walks and two strikeouts.

“He was very much in the mix in spring training,” Boone said. “Organizationally, we thought enough of him this offseason to put him on the 40-man roster. I thought he looked really good in spring and he’s certainly kept himself in the mix here early in the season.”

Ryan Weathers threw a bullpen session Friday, lining him up to start Monday in Baltimore after being scratched from Thursday’s start following a viral illness.

On Friday afternoon, CC Sabathia was inducted into the Brewers’ Wall of Honor during a ceremony at American Family Field. The Hall of Fame left-hander, who will have his No. 52 retired by the Yankees and a plaque unveiled for him in Monument Park this September, was traded to the Brewers during the 2008 season and pitched them into the playoffs.
