“There’s been a couple times early in the season here where I feel like things that have gone on in the game have affected Luis a little bit emotionally,” Boone said. “And my message to him you can process something, take something in, but we got to move on to the next pitch. I feel like that situation maybe got the best of him a little bit.”
“I thought he did a great job the next time, where he’s going through it quick, trying to change his pace… where he did the balk to second base, unaffected by it,” Boone said. “All of his focus went into the next pitch and he ended up getting the strikeout.” In his outing, Gil went 5.2 innings, giving up one unearned run on two hits across 97 pitches as the Yankees pulled out a 5-4 victory.The Yankees announced on Tuesday that veteran third baseman DJ LeMahieu began his rehab assignment with the club’s Double-A affiliate in Somerset.
