The New York Yankees could be without Gerrit Cole for a couple of months or more, depending on how his doctor’s appointment goes in Los Angeles on Thursday. Cole is seeing world-renowned sports surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache of the  Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. The doctor requested an in-person visit from Cole so they could do more tests after the initial MRI didn’t diagnose a tear. Cole had an MRI, X-ray, and CT scan done. So, as Yankee fans hold their collective breath and wonder what’s going on with Cole, the White Sox traded Dylan Cease to the San Diego Padres, and Drew Thorpe, who went to the Padres in the Juan Soto trade, is now heading to Chicago. So, cross Cease off the list for possible Cole replacements in case the news is bad. As for Cole’s rotation mates, Carlos Rodón had a much better outing on Wednesday against the Red Sox. Stacey goes through the numbers there’s actually good injury news for the Yankees. Aaron Judge should be back this weekend and Jonathan Loaisiga will make his first Spring Training appearance on Thursday against the Tigers.
