Gerrit Cole Returns in May-June, Rodón in April-May
•
The New York Yankees anticipate star pitcher Gerrit Coles return to the mound in May or June, following his Tommy John surgery. Cole, the 2023 AL Cy Young winner, is expected to rejoin the team after a predicted 14-month recovery period. Meanwhile, All-Star left-hander Carlos Rodón, who underwent elbow surgery in October, is likely to return earlier, possibly in late April or early May. Coles absence has been a significant blow to the team, as he has been a dominant force since signing a $324 million contract in 2019. Max Fried is the early favorite to start on Opening Day, with Cole potentially returning in the second half of the season.
