New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will have an MRI of his right elbow after experiencing issues in bouncing back following spring training starts.

The 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner has been durable in career, making at least 30 starts in each of the last six full regular seasons.

“He described it as his recovery, leading into his next start, has been more akin to what he feels in the season when he's making 100 pitches,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday. “He usually doesn't have the recovery issues he's having. It's been more of a challenge, more taxing. So we're going to get an MRI to see what we're dealing with here.”

The 33-year-old has been throwing fewer pitches in his spring training starts this year than other rotation members.

“I think there's a level of discomfort, but I wouldn't describe it as he's in pain,” Boone said. “His stuff and his command has been really good in his outings. He's just having a hard time recovering like he's used to.”

Cole is entering the fifth season of a $324 million, nine-year contract that pays $36 million annually. GIOLITO TO HAVE SURGERY, PROBABLY OUT FOR SEASON >> Boston Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito will undergo right elbow surgery today, potentially ending his first season with the team before it even begins.

Manager Alex Cora confirmed the development to reporters on Monday. The decision comes after Giolito traveled to Alabama last week to get a second opinion from Dr. Jeffrey R. Dugas.

“The extent of it, we don't know yet,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora was quoted as saying by MLB.com. “We know it's with the ligament. So we'll know more tomorrow when they go in. The type of surgery, we don't know yet.”

Giolito, who signed a $38.5 million, two-year deal with the Red Sox, made two starts in spring training. He tossed a pair of scoreless innings in his first outing before reporting discomfort in the elbow after getting tagged for four runs and three walks in 2 1/3 innings against Minnesota on March 1.

This will be the second major right-elbow surgery for the 29-year-old Giolito. The right-hander had Tommy John surgery on Aug. 31, 2012.

TORRE ELECTED VICE CHAIRMAN OF HALL OF FAME >>

Joe Torre was elected vice chairman of baseball's Hall of Fame.

The 83-year-old was elected to the Hall in 2014 and joined the board in 2023. The decision by the board, chaired by Jane Forbes Clark, filled a position that had been held by Joe Morgan for 20 years until his death in 2020.

Torre was the 1971 NL MVP and hit .297 with 252 homers and 2,342 hits in 18 seasons for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves (1960-68), St. Louis (1969-74) and New York Mets (1975-77).

He had a record of 2,3261,997 as a manager.
