New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will have an MRI on his right elbow, manager Aaron Boone told reporters Monday.
Cole, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, has had difficulty bouncing back between spring training starts, Boone said.
"His recovery, before getting to his next start, has been more akin to what he feels during the season, when he's making 100 pitches," Boone told reporters. "When he's at 45 [pitches] and building to 55, he usually doesn't have the recovery issues he's having.
"I think there's a level of discomfort, but I wouldn't describe it as he's in pain.
