Yankees Pitcher Luis Gil Shut Down with Shoulder Tightness

The reigning AL Rookie of the Year is scheduled for an MRI after cutting short a bullpen session during spring training.

Luis Gil, Yankees right-hander and 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, stopped his bullpen session Friday due to tightness in his throwing shoulder.
Gil is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the injury, according to manager Aaron Boone.
The 26-year-old pitcher was a key part of the Yankees' rotation last season, posting a 15-7 record with a 3.50 ERA in 29 starts.
If Gil is sidelined, Marcus Stroman could step into the rotation, which also includes Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, and Clarke Schmidt.
Manager Aaron Boone expressed concern over the injury, noting it could require Gil to miss some time, though the extent remains unclear.
