TAMPA – The injuries have begun for the Yankees’ rotation.
Luis Gil had his bullpen session cut short on Friday after experiencing tightness near his right shoulder, manager Aaron Boone said.
The reigning AL Rookie of the Year is headed for an MRI on Saturday to find out what is wrong.
“He just felt tight and wasn’t able to really let it go,” Boone said at Steinbrenner Field.
“When a pitcher stops his bullpen, that’s concerning. But I also don’t want to get too far ahead. We’ll see what we have. But anytime they pull themselves from a bullpen a couple pitches in, that’s concerning.”
Gil cruised past his previous career-high in innings last season – two years removed from Tommy John surgery – throwing 151 ⅔ innings and posting 3.50 ERA.
“Hopefully it’s not something too serious, but also feels like something that’s going to cost us some time,” Boone said.
Gil’s injury opens the door for Marcus Stroman to make the rotation instead of being the odd man out, as he was projected to be entering camp.
