One of the Yankees’ top pitching prospects is getting his shot to start.
Right-hander Luis Gil, the Yankees’ No. 6 prospect per MLB.com, will be called up to start Tuesday against the Orioles in The Bronx, the team announced. Gerrit Cole was originally scheduled to start but tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. Manager Aaron Boone said Monday night that Nestor Cortes Jr. would likely start in Cole’s place, but the Yankees instead are going with Gil. Tuesday will be his first taste of the MLB.More Related News
