Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Gerrit Cole, the New York Yankees ace and 2023 AL Cy Young winner, will have Tommy John surgery on Tuesday, sidelining him for the entire 2025 season. The injury is a significant blow to the Yankees, who are already dealing with multiple injuries among key players. Cole, who faced elbow issues previously, expressed determination to rehabilitate and return stronger. As his absence leaves a void in the Yankees’ rotation, speculation grows about potential trades to bolster the pitching staff. Cole has a 3.12 ERA with the Yankees since joining the team in 2020, and his experience will be sorely missed.
