by New York Yankees hold their breath on Gerrit Cole.
The AS of staff and the former Cy Young Award winner underwent an MRI on his nanging elbow on Friday due to the discomfort he knew after a brutal spring start on Thursday, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network and Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
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.

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 his debut of the season until June 19. He then published an MPM of 3.41 that season and helped the World Series Yankees, where they lost against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cole also comes out of his unusual offseason, in which he chose his $ 324 million contract, then agreed to return to an agreement of four years of $ 144 million – the exact terms of the contract he chose.
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 this with a wide band of movements, including an agreement of eight years and 218 million dollars for the launcher starting Max Fried. They also exchanged the starter Nestor Cortes in the Devin Williams trade.
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 the shoulder, so the results of Cole tests cannot come back early enough.
