Emergency recalls and the 4 recall rule are there to prevent teams from raiding their minor league affiliates. They are in effect until the affiliates' seasons are over.
To do what they did in the Jets game there needs to be evidence of an injury or illness. Unless Gillies has a nagging injury they can't do this.
