Chris Kirschner of The Athletic wrote during the game:<\/a> \u201cLuis Gil has not been an MLB<\/a> viable starter for over a year now. Maybe he\u2019ll get back to being one again, but the quicker the Yankees have him back in the minors, the better they will be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying about the news on social media:<\/p>\n

Ryan Garcia:<\/a> \u201cI was being called reactionary two hours ago. Are the Yankees overreacting?\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Hubbs:<\/a> \u201cHad to happen. I like the aggression to do this before Rodon and Cole are even back. He\u2019s got nothing right now\u201d<\/p>\n

Everything Yankees:<\/a> \u201cHopefully today was the last we see of Luis Gil starting.\u201d<\/p>\n

@ncostanzo24:<\/a> \u201cWow shocked they actually made the move. Wonder who takes his spot\u201d<\/p>\n

Max Mannis:<\/a> \u201cSo the Yanks are just getting Gil out of the way now because they don\u2019t need a fifth starter for a little while, right? Does this mean they call up Jasson to DH for a couple games in Texas?\u201d<\/p>\n
