New York Yankees hold their breath on Gerrit Cole.
The AS of the staff and the former Cy Young Award winner underwent an MRI on his nailing elbow on Friday due to the discomfort he experienced after a brutal spring training on Thursday.
Talk to Journalists on SaturdayCole said he was “concerned” by what MRI will show and expect to know the results in the coming days.
“I still have a little hope. I'm just waiting for the experts to weigh, “said Cole, who noted that he was getting second opinions.
Cole granted six points deserved in 2 2/3 work rounds against the minnesota twins, launching 54 throws and on average 95.7 MPH with its fast four -seam ball.
“In the match, there were a lot of good things that were going on the other day, but when I got home, I continued to become more and more painful,” said Cole. “Something was not good.”
Cole was strong at his first start of training in the spring on February 28, withdrawing five years and granting three strokes and a deserved point in 3 1/3 rounds.
Gerrit Cole and the Yankees did not need it
This is the second consecutive season in which Cole experienced elbow problems during training in the spring. Last year, He was closed with nervous inflammation in his elbow And did not make his debut in season before June 19. He then published an MPM of 3.41 and helped lead the Yankees to the World Series, where they lost against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cole also comes out of an unusual offseason during which he chose his contract, Then agreed to return to a four -year agreement of $ 144 million – The exact terms of the contract from which they withdrew.
It goes without saying that losing Cole for a lot of time would be catastrophic for the Yankees. They have already lost the recruit of the year of last year Luis Gil For at least three months at a LAT strain. More broadly, they lost Juan Soto against the New York dishes in winter and tried to compensate for a large part of movements, especially An eight -year and $ 218 million agreement for the launcher Max Fried. They also exchanged the starter Nestor Cortes in the Devin Williams agreement.
Without Cole or Gil, New York would be ready to enter the 2025 season with a rotation in the direction of Fried, Clarke Schmidt, Carlos Rodón, Marcus Stroman (to whom they are probably satisfied not to negotiate now) and something like Will Warren or NOSTER CARLOS CARRASCO invitation.
It is an unenviable position for a team that started spring with high expectations and a chip on his shoulderSo the results of Cole tests cannot come back early enough.
