Aaron Boone told reporters today that Luis Gil is dealing with shoulder tightness, and that the Yankees will have him get an MRI after shutting him down during a bullpen session. The right-hander is coming off of an AL Rookie of the Year win during the 2024 season, as he was a stand-out star in a rotation that immediately lost Gerrit Cole for the first two months of the season.
With the Yankees having a logjam in their rotation, they now have a spot open that will presumably go to Marcus Stroman, who the team was willing to trade to shed salary this winter.
