TAMPA — Gio Gonzalez arrived in Yankees camp Tuesday, threw a bullpen session Thursday and will let the club get a glimpse of what he has against big leaguers hitters soon.
“He is pretty close to be ready right now,” pitching coach Larry Rothschild said of the starter who signed a minor league deal that would pay him $3 million if he makes his way to the big leagues. “From our conversation, he is throwing up to 100 pitches in sim games. He faced hitters the last time on Monday and [Thursday] was a normal [bullpen session] for him, so we will see.
