Yankees pitcher Luis Gil will be sidelined for at least three months because of his lat strain and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton would have surgery on his elbows only as a last resort, according to general manager Brian Cashman.

If the New York Yankees are set to miss Gerrit Cole for a significant amount of time, they could look to reunite with starting pitcher Michael King.

While the Yankees didn’t have an official update on Gerrit Cole on Sunday, it was nearly just as revealing of a day about the ace’s condition as yesterday.

Just when you think it couldn’t get worse for the New York Yankees, it does. The team has had a rough spring training in terms of injuries. Early in spring training, they found out Giancarlo Stanton would be unable to participate due to an elbow injury.

Luis Gil, fresh off winning AL Rookie of the Year, will be absent from the New York Yankees' starting rotation for the first few months of the regular season.

Marcus Stroman is expected to fill in while Luis Gil is sidelined from the Yankees' starting rotation with a high-grade lat strain

Gil, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, went to New York for a second MRI that revealed a high-grade lat strain.

TAMPA — When Aaron Bone revealed earlier this week that Luis Gil had a high-grade lat strain that would come with at least a six-week shutdown, he mentioned that the Yankees were still getting additional opinions from doctors. That has happened and while Gil’s diagnosis did not get any worse, it did not get any better.
