Confirmed to start Sunday Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Gil will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Sunday against the Mariners, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger rep... Impact After throwing six shutout innings in his MLB debut Tuesday against the Orioles, Gil was optioned to Triple-A. Because he joined the roster as a replacement for a player placed on the COVID-19 injured list (Gerrit Cole), the rookie right-hander will be eligible to return to the Yankees before the usual 10-day minimum. If Gil can deliver another serviceable outing Sunday, he could have some staying power in a banged-up Yankees rotation that remains without Cole, Jordan Montgomery (COVID-19), Domingo German (shoulder), Corey Kluber (shoulder), Luis Severino (groin/elbow) and Michael King (finger).
