The New York Yankees are disassigning Rule 5 Draft reliever Cade Winquest for assignment after failing to use him in any of the team's first 12 games. Luis Gil will replace Winquest's roster spot to start the series opener against the Rays. If he clears waivers, Winquest will be offered back to his original team, the Cardinals, for $50,000 and if they decline to take him back, the Yankees can send him to the minor leagues. This move raises questions about the team’s handling of Winquest’S 12-game stretch, which left them essentially playing a man short for the first four series.
