New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Monday that ace starting pitcher and reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole is set to undergo an MRI on his throwing elbow.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post noted that the MRI is due to the fact that Cole is "having a little more trouble recovering than usual at this time of year."
Per Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record, Boone said bouncing back between throwing sessions has been "more of a challenge" for Cole this spring and is more in line with what a pitcher typically experiences during the rigors of the regular season.
