Despite showing improved velocity and much better results in his last spring training outing on March 20 against the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil wasn’t part of the initial rotation and didn’t break camp with the roster.
Instead, he stayed in Florida getting ready to rejoin the roster later this month. After a dominant opening week, the Yankees have announced their immediate plans with Gil.
“Luis Gil is headed to join the RailRiders, where he is expected to make a start this weekend, putting him in line to rejoin the Yankees when they need a fifth starter (by April 11),” NY Post’s Greg Joyce posted on X.
