Overview
- The Yankees finalized their 26-man roster Tuesday, choosing a four-man rotation and optioning Luis Gil to Triple-A to open a bullpen spot.
- New York will roll with Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Ryan Weathers through the first two weeks, using four early off-days to skip a fifth starter.
- The move keeps Rule 5 pick Cade Winquest on the active roster, which teams must do for the full season or offer the player back to his former club.
- Gil will stay in Tampa to keep his pitch count up and is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation around April 11 for the series at the Rays.
- In other late camp moves, the Nationals put Josiah Gray on the 60-day injured list and selected Cionel Pérez to the 40-man roster, and the Boston Globe’s final Red Sox projection lists a five-man rotation led by Garrett Crochet.
