Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole will undergo Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for the 2025 season. The news comes after he experienced elbow pain during spring training.
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will require Tommy John surgery, ending his 2025 season. The announcement came after Cole received a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles, who will perform the surgery on Tuesday. Cole's elbow issues began last year with a diagnosis of elbow nerve inflammation and edema. This year, after two spring starts, the pain worsened, prompting the decision for surgery. Cole's injury is a significant blow to the Yankees, given his $144 million contract over the next four years.
