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.
