New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole is scheduled for elbow tests following struggles in spring training where he allowed six runs in his latest outing. A year after injuries sidelined him, Cole had returned to form, ending the last season with a solid ERA. Despite modifying his offseason training program, concerns about his elbow have surfaced, compounding injury problems for the Yankees, who could also be without key players like Giancarlo Stanton and Luis Gil at the season's start.
"I’m in a really good spot comparative to years past and probably slightly ahead of where we were last year," Cole said.
The scheduled tests indicate there is some concern regarding Cole's elbow, adding to a growing list of notable setbacks in Yankees camp.
Cole pitched his way into form, absorbing bumpy outings along the way, remaining healthy through the World Series.
A year ago, the ace reported to spring training fresh off winning his first Cy Young Award before being shut down with elbow discomfort.
