New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will have an MRI of his right elbow after experiencing issues in bouncing back following spring training starts. The 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner has been durable in career, making at least 30 starts in each of the last six full regular seasons. Yankees manager Aaron Boone says "he described it as his recovery, leading into his next start, has been more akin to what he feels in the season when he’s making 100 pitches.” The 33-year-old has been throwing fewer pitches in his spring training starts this year than other rotation members.
