Gerrit Cole to Make Rehab Start on Wednesday at Double-A
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) will make his next minor-league rehab start on Wednesday with Double-A Somerset, according to Erik Boland of Newsday. This will be Cole's third rehab start. In one start each with Somerset and High-A Hudson Valley, Cole has allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out seven in 8 2/3 innings pitched. The 35-year-old is expected to make at least two more rehab starts on the farm before the Yankees consider reinstating him for his 2026 season debut. The Cy Young winner and six-time All-Star deserves to be stashed everywhere because of his track record as a fantasy ace, but patience may be required since he has only made 17 starts for New York since the start of the 2024 season. Cole missed all of 2025 after having Tommy John surgery. Despite his lengthy absence, Cole is rostered in 84% of Yahoo leagues, and that number should rise in the coming weeks as he gets closer to rejoining the team.
