JUPITER, Fla. -- The day after a grim Gerrit Cole expressed “concern” over his ailing right elbow, GM Brian Cashman also didn’t sound too optimistic as the Yankees await a course of action for their $324 million ace.

Just when you think it couldn’t get worse for the New York Yankees, it does. The team has had a rough spring training in terms of injuries. Early in spring training, they found out Giancarlo Stanton would be unable to participate due to an elbow injury.

The New York Yankees are already in survival mode before the 2025 season officially begins. A string of devastating injuries has jeopardized their rotation depth and offensive power, and now, Gerrit Cole's elbow concerns seem hopeless.
