Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole, diagnosed with nerve inflammation and edema in his right elbow, is expected to be sidelined for 10-12 weeks but will not require Tommy John surgery. Dr. Stephen O'Brien, an orthopedic surgeon, commented on Cole's health, indicating the need for a careful approach to his recovery. Cole himself expressed 'absolute' confidence in returning to play this season. The Yankees, while relieved that surgery is not currently needed, face uncertainty regarding Cole's exact return date, with estimates suggesting a late May or early June comeback. The organization is exploring options to bolster their roster during his absence.

Relief, yes, that Cole doesn’t appear to need surgery at the moment. But that doesn’t mean the Yankees’ organization is relieved. “What if he can’t pick up a ball three weeks from now, a month from now? We still really don’t know exactly what the hell we’re dealing with.” https://t.co/IBRFrezUUw
Gerrit Cole is expected back in #Yankees camp tomorrow, Aaron Boone said.

"I think they would sign up for two months into the season. June 1st, Gerrit Cole gets the ball" @JonHeyman gives the latest on when the Yankees could expect Gerrit Cole to make his return Watch the new episode of Around the Bases here ➡️ https://t.co/oz8QZIstH2 https://t.co/4Jwn6mHAnj
Column for https://t.co/HXLkX5MaC9: Much uncertainty looms for Cole, even w/good news from ElAttrache. If Yanks are truly all-in they should take advantage of the fortunate Snell/Montgomery availability and sign one, luxury tax be damned. https://t.co/mj9TvGTbb7
To portray the Yankees as somehow in a celebratory state re Cole wildly overstates things. The org is glad (obviously) there’s no surgery for now but A LOT of concern exists because of the uncertainty of when he’ll actually return & if there’s enough realistic MLB-caliber depth
Given the circumstances, this is the best possible news for the Yankees. Gerrit Cole could be back in late May or sometime in June: https://t.co/xNeeNRmjGv
