Yankees' Gerrit Cole 'concerned' about what MRI on elbow will show, seeking second opinions: report
Yankees star pitcher Gerrit Cole underwent tests on his right elbow Friday after experiencing some discomfort, and is "concerned" what the imaging will show, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.
Cole said he expects to know more about the MRI in the next couple of days, adding that the imaging of his right elbow have already been distributed and he is seeking second opinions, per Hoch. There is no travel booked at the time.
'I've still got some hope. I'm just waiting for the experts to weigh in," Cole said.
The right-hander allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and two home runs over 2.2 innings on Thursday. He then reported soreness after the game.
'In the game there was a lot of good stuff happening the other day, but as I got home I just continued to get more and more sore. Something wasn't right," Cole told Hoch.
Of course, Cole began the 2024 season on the 60-day injured list due to an elbow issue, causing him to not make his first start of the year until mid-June. He started 17 games, going 8-5 with a 3.41 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 99 strikeouts.

Padres $154 Million Infielder Tabbed 'Best Realistic Fit' for Yankees
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees are looking to upgrade their infield. It's a move they have been looking to make for quite some time, even dating back to the offseason. Now that the trade deadline is fast approaching, general manager Brian Cashman knows he doesn't have a choice but to make the move now. There are a lot of options available for the Yankees, but former general manager Jim Bowden believes Luis Arraez from the San Diego Padres is the best option for the Bronx Bombers. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - JUNE 08: Luis Arraez #4 of the San Diego Padres up to bat in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on June 08, 2025 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - JUNE 08: Luis Arraez #4 of the San Diego Padres up to bat in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on June 08, 2025 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin."The Yankees would like an offensive upgrade for both DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza and can do so at either second or third base since Jazz Chisholm Jr. is willing to play either position," wrote Bowden. ... "That might leave Arraez as the best realistic fit. Arraez is not a great defender, but he's won a batting title each of the past three years and would create extra traffic on the bases for New York's sluggers to drive home." Arraez's bat would fit in well at Yankee Stadium, as he would thrive in a stadium with a short porch in right field at just 314 feet. As Bowden pointed out, his defense has been questionable, which has led the Padres to primarily play him at first base. Even if Arraez's defense were to improve at Yankee Stadium, Bowden mentions there is one other caveat that may impact a trade. "I'm just not sure how the Yankees and Padres would fit as trade partners," wrote Bowden. This doesn't come as a surprise as the Padres are still second in the National League West and trying to close the gap between themselves and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Padres general manager A.J. Preller may only be willing to move Arraez if he believes a long-term extension is completely off the table. Arraez being a rental complicates things further as the Yankees may not want to cough up what the Padres would ask for in a trade. The Padres haven't made any indication they will be moving on from expiring players at the deadline, but a lot could change between now and July 31. If the Yankees can find a deal to get Arraez in pinstripes, he would presumably slot in at second base while Jazz Chisholm Jr. would take over the hot corner.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, 'Mr. October' linked up at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is known as one of the NFL's foremost baseball aficionados, and got to meet one of the best players in MLB history on Tuesday night. While the Kansas City Royals were systematically dismantled by the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium, Mahomes took an opportunity to get a picture with 'Mr. October' — Reggie Jackson. Jackson, who spent the first year of his MLB career with the then-Kansas City Athletics (in 1967, before the A's moved to Oakland in 1968), commemorated his encounter with Mahomes in a post to his official Twitter account on June 10: Though Jackson seems to have been rooting for the Yankees, Mahomes could be seen beaming with pride next to the legendary slugger, who won a total of five World Series championships during his illustrious 21-year career in Major League Baseball. Jackson's No. 44 and No. 9 jerseys are retired by the Yankees and Athletics, respectively.

Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins accused of making "false claims" about father's time with Yankees
Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins has some explaining to do, according to the New York Post. Dobbins created a stir over the weekend when he made his dislike of the Yankees organization crystal clear, stemming from his father's brief career with New York. But Joel Sherman of the New York Post did a little digging, and has uncovered that Dobbins' father, Lance, never actually had a career with the Yankees. You never know what's going to pop up in the famous Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. While the drama is usually on the diamond, this strange chapter is playing out on the Dobbins family tree. Why Hunter Dobbins doesn't like the Yankees Dobbins and his father grew up Red Sox fans, so their disdain for the Yankees needs no explanation. But ahead of his Sunday start against the Yankees in New York, Dobbins told the Boston Herald he'd retire before donning pinstripes, even if the Yankees were the last team to offer him a contract. In the story, Dobbins said his father was drafted by the Yankees twice before he was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also said his dad was good friends with former Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte, one of the few Yankees players the Dobbins family respects. The Red Sox media guide does mention Lance Dobbins spending time with the Diamondbacks organization. But according to Sherman, the elder Dobbins was never drafted by the Yankees or a part of the franchise. New York Post calls out Hunter Dobbins' claim The New York media took umbrage with Dobbins' comments over the weekend, and Sherman looked into Lance's time with the Yankees. Sherman quickly found out that time did not exist. "Dobbins' father, Lance, does not come up as a Yankee draft pick in any search of the team's selections on Baseball Reference from any single season," Sherman reported Tuesday. "Yankees GM Brian Cashman, who has been with the organization since the late 1980s, has no recollection of the Yankees drafting Lance Dobbins and said a check with the Yankees amateur department revealed no drafting of a Lance Dobbins." When Sherman reached out to Pettitte, the former pitcher told him he and his family don't remember a Lance Dobbins, let alone being friends with him. The New York Post scribe also reached out to former Diamondbacks GM Joe Garagiola Jr. and former manager Buck Showalter, who had no memory of Lance Dobbins with the franchise. Lance Dobbins has a page on Baseball Reference, but it only lists him pitching for two independent teams. Dobbins is listed as pitching for the Meridian Brakemen of the Big South League in 1996 and 1997, and the Ohio Valley Redcoats of the Frontier League in 1997. He has been a pitching coach/instructor since 2002, according to his profile on The Lab at Hustle 3. But the profile only mentions him being a scout and draft consultant for the Tampa Bay Rays, and makes no mention of the Yankees or the Diamondbacks. From afar, it looks like Lance Dobbins did a little exaggerating when he told his son about his "professional" career. Fathers tend to embellish a bit when talking about the glory days of yesteryear with their kids, though a lot of times those tall tales can't be fact-checked. That is not the case for the Dobbins family, who did not give a comment to Sherman for his story. Hunter Dobbins is expected to clear the air at Fenway Park on Wednesday, ahead of Boston's rubber match against the Rays. Dobbins won't take the mound for Boston until Saturday, when he's set to make his second straight start against the Yankees.
