Yankees' Gerrit Cole Set to Start Throwing as Part of Elbow Rehab
The ace pitcher's return to throwing marks a significant milestone in his recovery from nerve inflammation in his right elbow.
- Yankees' Gerrit Cole, sidelined due to nerve inflammation in his elbow, is expected to begin throwing early this week.
- Despite being on the 60-day injured list, Cole's rehabilitation is on schedule, with a potential return in early June.
- The Yankees have maintained a strong start to the 2024 season, currently leading the American League East without Cole.
- Cole's injury comes amid a broader discussion on the increase of arm injuries across baseball, with some attributing it to the pitch clock's implementation.
- Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association are at odds over the cause of the recent spike in pitcher injuries.
