It's news I don't want to hear, but it's a terrible 471.8 billion aces, TJS, and the years when they can't even stop the season's out in 1954 innings

The Yankees officially announced on the 11th (Korea Standard Time) "Garrett Cole will receive TJS in LA tomorrow."
Cole will travel to LA on the 12th to receive his first TJS in his life at Sedar-Sinai Cullan-Jove Hospital as the lead of Dr. Neil Elatrice. The Yankees did not reveal when Cole will return, but the pitcher's TJS rehabilitation period is usually 12 to 18 months. Therefore, Cole is expected to take the entire season off and return as early as April next year or as late as June-July.
Cole posted on his Instagram account after the news of the surgery, saying, `My goal has always been to give New York a World Series trophy since I first dreamed of wearing a Yankees uniform"The dream hasn't changed. I still believe. have a stronger will than ever to achieve that goal" he said.
He then recommended that the most respected medical professional should receive Tommy John Surgery today. It's not news I want to hear for an athlete, but it's probably a necessary process for my career."

But this time, the surgery was inevitable. Cole started the home exhibition game against the Minnesota Twins on the 7th and complained of right elbow pain after being hit with five hits, including two home runs, and allowing six runs in two ⅔ innings. Cole, who threw 54 pitches, had a maximum fastball speed of 97.6 miles and an average of 95.9 miles. Both speed and ball power were improving.
Cole said on the 9th, `Everything that happened in the game yesterday was good. But when I got home, the pain got worse. I woke up the next day and felt something was wrong. It was hard to sleep, and it was a shock" he said. He said he learned of his elbow injury later after the game.
When Cole heard the results of the first examination, he said, `Maybe he needs surgery,' adding, `I received the results of the first examination, and I'm still hoping, but I'm waiting for a more accurate finding before reaching a conclusion.'
With Cole on the IL, Max Fried, who was acquired for $218 million in eight years in December last year, will start the opening game. The Yankees should run the rotation this season with Fried, Carlos Rodón, Marcus Stroman, Clark Schmidt and five starters.
Last year's AL Rookie of the Year Lewis Hill was also diagnosed with three months of rehabilitation due to a right side injury. Right-hander rookie Will Warren and Carlos Carrasco and Alan Winans, who are participating in camp as non-rosters, will compete for the remaining starting position.

However, he has been suffering from injuries since last year. Cole has a four-year, $144 million contract remaining, including this year. The Yankees insure Cole's contract and receive some compensation while he is listed on the IL.
Cole will receive TJS for the first time since his Major League debut in 2013, which is expected to be significantly affected by his remaining career. Cole, who was born in September 1990, will turn 36 when he returns to the mound next year. Cole pitched 1954 innings, including six 200-inning seasons, and the era of him dominating the major leagues as a representative 'Cheolwan' also seems to be over.
