The New York Yankees were hit with some worrying injury news Monday, as ace Gerrit Cole is set to undergo an MRI on his throwing elbow after experiencing some discomfort during spring training.
With just over two weeks until the Yankees open their season on the road against the Houston Astros on March 28, Cole’s status for Opening Day could potentially be at risk.
Manager Aaron Boone told reporters Monday that Cole has not been recovering as expected in between starts throughout the spring, prompting the team to send him for an MRI.
