Yankees' Gerrit Cole (elbow) likely out for Opening Day
New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) is not expected to be ready for Opening Day, per manager Aaron Boone.
What It Means:
Cole is undergoing testing on his right elbow, but there isn't enough time for him to be ready for Opening Day. Marcus Stroman is a candidate to replace Cole as the Yankees' starter for their first game of the season on March 28 against the Houston Astros.
numberFire's models project Cole to record a 3.86 ERA and 1.16 WHIP this season, with a 27.5 percent strikeout rate.
