JUPITER, Fla. -- The day after a grim Gerrit Cole expressed “concern” over his ailing right elbow, GM Brian Cashman also didn’t sound too optimistic as the Yankees await a course of action for their $324 million ace.

Where there is smoke, there is fire and the Yankees could soon find their season up in flames due to Gerrit Cole’s elbow injury.

Just when you think it couldn’t get worse for the New York Yankees, it does. The team has had a rough spring training in terms of injuries. Early in spring training, they found out Giancarlo Stanton would be unable to participate due to an elbow injury.
