New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole had an internal brace put in his right elbow as part of Tommy John surgery on March 11.

His right elbow scarred and his season ruined before it began, Gerrit Cole has not allowed Tommy John surgery to stop him from pitching. “I still pitch before I go to bed every night,” the Yankees’ sidelined ace said Monday.

Gerrit Cole remains sidelined for the 2025 season after he underwent Tommy John surgery in early March. On Monday, he spoke to reporters for the first time following the surgery which ended his season before it began.
