New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole, the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner, is set to undergo an MRI on his right elbow after experiencing difficulties in recovering from his spring training starts. Known for his durability, Cole has consistently made at least 30 starts in each of the last six full regular seasons.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed that Cole has been facing challenges in his recovery process leading up to his next start, likening it to the fatigue typically experienced during the regular season after throwing 100 pitches. Despite showing good stuff and command during his outings, Cole has been struggling with his recovery, which is unusual for him.
