New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has undergone Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2025 MLB season, according to the team. The surgery included internal bracing, a relatively new procedure that improves the level of support on the ligament and can speed up recovery time.

Tommy John Surgery was the prognosis announced by Yankees camp spokespeople last week concerning the immediate future of ace pitcher Gerrit Cole. Those three words are enough to send waves of emotion on the verge of devastation among Yankee faithful and fans of the game in general.
