The Yankees placed Gil (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Gil resumed tossing bullpen sessions in the latter stages of spring training, but he'll still require more than two months to complete his throwing progression plus a minor-league rehab assignment while he works his way back from May 2022 Tommy John surgery. His move to the 60-day injured list won't affect his recovery timeline and affords the Yankees some added flexibility with the 40-man roster in the meantime.

The Yankees recalled Brito from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday and he'll start Sunday against the Giants, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The transaction was merely procedural, as Brito had already been confirmed as a member of the Yankees' Opening Day rotation. He's scheduled to make his first MLB start in Sunday's series finale with the Giants at Yankee Stadium.

Sanchez (triceps) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Sanchez was shut down in mid-April because of left triceps soreness, and there is currently no timeline for his 2023 debut.

Suarez (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Suarez fell behind the other Phillies starters when he came down with forearm tightness in early March. Imaging tests have ruled out any structural damage and the hope is that he can hop into the rotation for the reigning NL champs sometime before the end of April. He threw a bullpen session Wednesday without issue.

Wainwright (groin) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Wainwright is projected to miss the first month of the 2023 regular season because of a groin strain that he suffered during a workout with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Miles Mikolas is taking the ball for the Cardinals on Opening Day.

Shuster had his contract selected by Atlanta on Thursday.

The 24-year-old lefty earned a spot in Atlanta's season-opening rotation and is penciled in to start Sunday in Washington, and he's now officially been added to the MLB roster. Shuster had a 3.29 ERA and 145:38 K:BB across 139.1 innings between the Double-A and Triple-A levels last season, but he earned the rotation spot largely on a dominant spring training during which held opponents to a .115 average with a 1.45 ERA in 18.2 frames.

The Reds placed Dunn (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Dunn continues to battle serious shoulder problems and might be in for another lost season. He was recently diagnosed with a right rotator cuff strain.

Ynoa (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Ynoa finished last season on the 60-day IL after he underwent Tommy John surgery in September, so his move back there to open 2023 was inevitable. The 24-year-old is expected to miss the entire season but could be ready for spring training in 2024.

Allard (oblique) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Allard suffered a Grade 2 right oblique strain in early March, and his move to the 60-day IL guarantees he'll be out for at least the first two months of the campaign. The 25-year-old was acquired from the Rangers in November and will likely head to Triple-A Gwinnett once healthy.

Hendricks (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

The veteran right-hander spent spring training going through his rehab program for the right shoulder capsular tear he suffered in August, so his move to the injured list to begin the season isn't a surprise. Hendricks is close to facing live batters and could begin a rehab assignment within the next few weeks.
