Gerrit Cole brought devastating news to Yankees fans after the team mentioned that he’s undergoing tests. The Yankees are already dealing with multiple injuries, and Cole made things worse for the team.

Starting pitcher Luis Gil is out, and Giancarlo Stanton is sidelined. Cole is currently undergoing tests on his throwing elbow. Talkin’ Yanks recently shared an update on his injury on X. A further update will be provided in the next two days.

Yankees fans were devastated after the news of Gerrit Cole’s injury broke out. Fans took to social media to react to the same. Here’s a look at some fan reactions on X.

“Jeeze! Just put the entire Yankee lineup on the IL already. This is pathetic none of their players can stay healthy,” one fan wrote.

“The absolute worst training staff in Major League Baseball! Also, are the coaches working and developing players correctly? Sure Gerrit’s been around but he still follows what the pitching coaches are telling him. Something is rotten in Gotham City,” another fan replied.

 

“I speak for everyone when I say we all hope he’s okay,” another fan responded.

“This season is already cooked. I just can’t,” added one fan.

Gerrit Cole’s Absence Will Add Pressure On Max Fried

Cole’s absence is sure to cost the team. The Yankees hope for their ace to return before opening day. However, he might need to take it slow. The pressure will mount on Max Fried and the other pitchers in case Cole takes a while to return.

Carlos Rodon, Marcus Stroman, and Fried will need to take control of the starting rotation. The Yankees could bring in Will Warren to help solve their issues. The offense will need to step in to help the team until Gerrit Cole is back.
