We have an initial idea, but we’re going to wait to see exactly what everybody says before we come to our conclusion,”

Though, Gerrit Cole wasn’t the only one to share thoughts on his elbow injury as teammate fellow starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt who in 2024 season 5-5 with an earn run average of 2.85 shared his thoughts as well by saying here’s no way to sugar coat it -- he’s a top of the league guy and has been an ace in this league for a long, long time,”He’ll be missed if it’s something longer-term. Regardless, I think we’ve got to pick him up as a staff. I know we did a pretty good job of that in the first half last year when he was gone, and I think we’re very well capable of doing that again.”
