Yankees right-hander Luis Gil will be sidelined at the start of the season due to a high-grade lat strain in his pitching shoulder. The injury, which will require Gil to refrain from throwing for a minimum of six weeks, was disclosed by manager Aaron Boone ahead of Monday night's spring training matchup against Pittsburgh.
Boone confirmed the extent of the injury, stating, 'It's at least a six-week no throw. We know that for sure.' The team remains optimistic about Gil's potential return during the current season, pending further evaluations and consultations with medical experts.
