The New York Yankees endured a major blow when it was announced starting pitcher Gerrit Cole would undergo Tommy John surgery to repair a torn right ulnar collateral ligament. Cole will now miss the entire 2025 season, leaving the reigning American League champions without their ace as they try to get back to the World Series.
With Cole now out for the season and reigning AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil dealing with a lat strain that is expected to keep him out until the middle of the season, the Yankees have limited options for their starting rotation.
