Overview

  • Gerrit Cole, the Yankees' ace pitcher, underwent Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2025 season.
  • Giancarlo Stanton is expected to miss at least two months, if not the entire season, due to chronic elbow injuries, potentially requiring surgery.
  • The Yankees' pitching rotation has been significantly impacted, with Luis Gil also sidelined until at least June due to a right lateral strain.
  • Despite the setbacks, the Yankees plan to rely on internal development and depth rather than pursuing high-profile pitching acquisitions.
  • Offensive contributions from younger players like Anthony Volpe, Oswald Peraza, and Jasson Domínguez will be critical as the team adjusts to these challenges.
