Cole said his arms felt better during the start but got worse.
“When I got home it kept getting more and more painful,” Cole said. New York Post Saturday. “Something wasn't right.”
Cole was also closed after suffering an injury during spring training last season and later diagnosed with nerve stimulation in the elbow.
The six-time All-Star didn't make his first start until June 19th last season due to injuries. In the campaign that caused injuries last season, Cole was 8-5 with a 3.41 ERA with the start of the regular season in 17 times.
