Just hours after the Houston Astros hammered Luis Gil to snap the New York Yankees' eight-game winning streak, the former AL Rookie of the Year has been asked to report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
In the series finale, Gil pitched four innings and failed to record a strikeout. His pitches were all over the place as he gave up six earned runs on five hits and three walks in the 7-4 loss. The right-hander has given up six home runs in the last 19.1 innings.
The Yankees haven't announced the corresponding move, but they will likely promote another pitcher before the Texas Rangers series starts.
From the swift move, it's clear that the Yankees want Luis Gil to work on his stuff so that what happened on Sunday doesn't happen again. Gil started the season in Triple-A as the Yankees didn't need a fifth starter due to a relaxed schedule early on. After returning, he has made four starts for a 6.05 ERA as he has struggled to keep the ball in the yard.

Before the next call-up comes for Luis Gil, the Yankees might reach a point where they might not need him. Carlos Rodon and Gerrit Cole are both rehabbing well. Rodon is just two assignments away from potentially returning. Meanwhile, it might take Cole a month to get back to the major league roster.
