Sign Up Now But he has not been the one thing that made up so much of his identity for so long: an active big league pitcher. He dreams about what it will look like, feel like and sound like when he returns to a major league mound for the first time since Tommy John surgery, perhaps as soon as May. He dreams about the emotions of the last time he was on that mound — Game 5 of the World Series in October 2024 — focusing on how special it was to pitch on such a meaningful stage rather than the nightmare it turned into. He thinks about all the little things he grew to miss during the time the former AL Cy Young Award winner was robbed of his greatest ability: taking the ball every five days and pitching like one of the game’s best.Gerrit Cole began the 2025 season with his pitching arm in a cast for 17 days.Gerrit Cole used his left hand to pitch to his sons while he recovered from Tommy John surgery in 2025.Gerrit Cole will start the season looking on from the Yankees dugout with hopes he can get back on the mound for a regular season start perhaps by late May.Floundering Yankees’ last stand comes with sobering Aaron Judge-Max Fried reality
