The New York Yankees received positive news Thursday: Gerrit Cole was told that he will not need Tommy John surgery, at least for now, after visiting Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to ESPN.

Cole has been advised to rest and undergo noninvasive treatment, and will be shut down for at least a month, a source said.

Cole made just one official spring training start, throwing 39 pitches over two-plus innings March 1, but pitched in a simulated game March 7.
