New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is expected to miss one to two months of action due a right elbow injury, according to Mark W. Sanchez and Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
Cole underwent an MRI earlier this week after experiencing some discomfort in his elbow during spring training. On the heels of the MRI, Cole will visit renowned sports surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles to evaluate the injury.
Even though the initial MRI didn’t detect a tear in the Yankees star’s elbow, ElAttrache has recommended additional testing be done to determine the extent and severity of the injury and whether or not surgery will be required.
