The New York Yankees are set to designate right-hander Cade Winquest for assignment to make room for Luis Gil on the roster. This decision comes as the Yankees prepare for their series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Winquest, who was selected as a Rule 5 draft pick in December 2025, is the first player chosen by the Yankees in this draft since 2011. To retain him, he needed to remain on the roster for the entire 2026 season. However, he did not make an appearance in the Yankees' first 12 games this season. In his minor league career, Winquest pitched to a 4.19 ERA with 219 strikeouts across 212.2 innings, and he finished the 2025 season with a 3.19 ERA in 42.1 innings at the Double-A level. The Yankees will finalize the transaction before Gil's start on Friday.
