Gerrit Cole, New York Yankees, Out for 2025 Season After Tommy John Surgery

Gerrit Cole's absence impacts the Yankees' starting rotation. Carlos Rodón, Max Fried, and Clarke Schmidt are among the pitchers who will need to step up. The Yankees face the Athletics on May 9, 2025, and will rely on these players to fill the gap.

Cole has no current season stats as he did not pitch before his injury. This situation shifts focus to other players in the lineup, like Aaron Judge, who has a batting average of .400 with 12 home runs and 34 RBIs. The team will lean on their offensive strength to maintain performance.
