The Yankees are close to Cy’ing with relief.
After Gerrit Cole visited with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday, the belief for now is the Yankees ace can avoid Tommy John surgery, The Post has learned.
The initial recommendation for Cole’s troubled right elbow is rest, rehab and some conservative, non-surgical treatments.
The feeling is he will miss one to two months or perhaps just a bit more.
Cole met with ElAttrache in Los Angeles for further testing on an elbow that was not bouncing back from his outings as Cole wanted.
ElAttrache apparently has agreed with team doctors that there is not a tear in his UCL.
The 33-year-old workhorse will miss some time, but at this point the Yankees are expecting to get the reigning AL Cy Young award winner back.
