So far, so good.<\/p>\n
Gerrit Cole came through his first rehabilitation start feeling good, with the belief that he is getting closer to returning after throwing 45 pitches for Double-A Somerset on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel good,\u201d he said before the Yankees faced the Twins in The Bronx. \u201cWe\u2019ll take it start by start, just like we have the whole time. \u2026 It was a good day yesterday, so I\u2019m very encouraged.\u201d<\/p>\n
The question now is how many more starts will the reigning Cy Young Award winner need before he is ready to return at the big-league level? Manager Aaron Boone suggested two or three more outings for Cole, but wouldn\u2019t commit to a set amount.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s something we\u2019ll continue to work through,\u201d Boone said about Cole\u2019s next steps in the rehab process. \u201cObviously, Gerrit will pour a lot into that, and we\u2019ll just keep taking it day by day, but at least a couple more [starts]. We\u2019ll see if it\u2019s, I don\u2019t know how many \u2014 is it two, is it three? \u2014 it\u2019s gonna be what is best and we\u2019ll come to that decision as we go.\u201d<\/p>\n
A six-time All-Star, Cole was shut down in mid-March with nerve inflammation and edema in his pitching elbow. <\/p>\n
He resumed playing catch on April 8, threw his first bullpen session in early May and faced batters for the first time on May 21. <\/p>\n
Over 3 \u00b9\/\u2083 innings on Tuesday, Cole allowed two singles, walked none and struck out five at TD Bank Ballpark. He topped out at 97 mph.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fun, it\u2019s nice to have the adrenaline,\u201d Cole said of pitching in a real game for the first time this year.<\/p>\n
The Yankees haven\u2019t just survived without their ace, they have thrived. They own the best record in the American League at 43-19, and their starting pitching has been terrific, second in all of baseball in ERA (2.69) behind the Phillies (2.68). <\/p>\n
It can get even better once Cole is back. But they won\u2019t rush him, despite losing right-hander Clarke Schmidt for an extended period of time due to a right lat injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is about Gerrit and making sure he\u2019s in the best place to be the best version of himself when he comes back,\u201d Boone said. \u201cObviously, we know the impact he can have so I don\u2019t think where we are matters that much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
