New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole made a significant return to the mound after being diagnosed with elbow inflammation. During a press conference, Cole expressed his frustration over the recent surge in pitcher injuries across the league. He highlighted the conflicting viewpoints between Major League Baseball and the Player's Association regarding the causes of these injuries.
Cole emphasized the need for both sides to collaborate in addressing the issue, likening it to dealing with 'divorced parents' trying to discipline a misbehaving child. He criticized the lack of unity in tackling the root causes of pitcher injuries, pointing out that the players' well-being should be a top priority for the industry.
