New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole will undergo Tommy John surgery, the team announced, ending his 2025 season before it began and leaving the club staggering from another blow as it prepares to defend its American League pennant.
The decision to have the season-ending surgery was made after seeking a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Cole will have the procedure Tuesday at the Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles. In a team statement, the club announced that "further updates will occur post surgery."
Cole started two games this spring, allowing seven runs across six innings.
