Yankees left holding their breath in Luis Gil injury scare

TAMPA — The ROY is headed for an MRI.

Luis Gil had his bullpen session cut short on Friday after experiencing tightness near his right shoulder, manager Aaron Boone said.

The reigning AL Rookie of the Year will undergo an MRI exam on Saturday to find out what is wrong, but until then, a dark cloud was left hovering over the Yankees.

“He just felt tight and wasn’t able to really let it go,” Boone said before the Yankees hosted the Blue Jays at Steinbrenner Field. “Hopefully it’s not something too serious, but also feels like something that’s going to cost us some time.”
