Yankees Recall Luis Gil, Option Yerry de los Santos to Triple-A SWB
The Yankees announced two roster moves ahead of today's game: RHP Luis Gil is back on the active roster, while RHP Yerry de los Santos heads to Triple-A.
The New York Yankees announced a pair of roster moves before today's game, recalling right-hander Luis Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and optioning right-hander Yerry de los Santos to the same affiliate.
Gil returns to the active roster after a stint in the minors. De los Santos heads back down to SWB to create the corresponding space.
What to watch
The moves come during a busy stretch for New York's pitching staff. Max Fried returned to action for the Yankees in Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, and Brendan Beck was optioned back to Triple-A SWB after serving as the 27th man for that twin bill. Gil's recall adds another arm to a rotation and bullpen that have been in steady motion.
What remains unconfirmed is the specific role Gil will fill — starter or reliever — and how long De los Santos's stay in Triple-A is expected to last.
