The Opener: Crawford, Cole, White Sox
"Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford has been struggling with soreness in his shoulder lately, and yesterday the Mariners revealed that he was set to visit with Dr. Keith Meister to make sure they're on the right track. Any visit with a surgeon is going to be cause for concern among fans, but Mariners brass seemed to downplay the severity of the situation and added they expected to have an update on Crawford today."
"Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is poised to make his first start since undergoing Tommy John surgery when the Red Sox visit Steinbrenner Field later today. Cole is obviously one of the most talented pitchers in baseball when healthy and won a Cy Young Award back in 2023. However, he's made just 17 starts since then due to elbow issues. Now headed into his age-35 season, it's fair to wonder exactly what the longtime ace will look like once he returns to the mound."
Three significant developments are unfolding in baseball today. Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford is visiting Dr. Keith Meister regarding shoulder soreness, with the team expecting an update. Crawford rebounded from a difficult 2024 season to post solid numbers last year while playing 157 games. A potential injured list placement would test Seattle's infield depth, with Leo Rivas as a likely short-term replacement. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole makes his first start following Tommy John surgery against the Red Sox at Steinbrenner Field. Cole, a former Cy Young Award winner, has made only 17 starts since 2023 due to elbow issues and enters his age-35 season. Additionally, the White Sox's waiver process for Rule 5 pick Alexander Alberto concludes today.
