Luis Gil Struggles with Command in Rough Outing Against Tigers

Luis Gil endured a difficult start in Sunday's 12-1 loss to the Tigers, allowing seven earned runs and three home runs over three innings. Despite a velocity uptick to 97.5 mph, Gil struggled to generate whiffs, inducing only two on 19 fastball swings. Pitching coach Matt Blake noted concerns regarding his command and fastball life. Gil, who has 15 strikeouts in 11.1 spring innings, will have one final opportunity to prove his readiness for the Yankees' rotation.
