Perspective signals

Claim 1: “Gil was the obvious odd man out for when Carlos Rodón returns to from the injured list – he is expected to need at least two more rehab starts – but instead of waiting, the Yankees sent him packing on Sunday.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that Gil was optioned on Sunday, and that this occurred despite context regarding other players (like Rodón needing rehab starts), is supported by multiple web search results detailing the optioning event immediately following the Astros game.
