Gerrit Cole Goes 5 2/3 Innings in Latest Rehab Start
New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) allowed three earned runs on three hits (two homers) while walking none and striking out three in 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday in his latest minor-league rehab start for Double-A Somerset. Cole threw 45 of his 60 pitches for strikes in his third rehab start. The 35-year-old veteran has now allowed four home runs in his three rehab starts, posting a 4.40 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and only one walk. The only news that really matters is that Cole is healthy and progressing after the Tommy John surgery he had at the start of last year, which kept him from pitching for the Yankees all season. Cole will likely need another rehab start or two before the Yankees feel comfortable reinstating him from the injured list, but his 2026 season debut is getting closer. The six-time All-Star and former Cy Young winner will ease back into the Yankees' starting rotation when he returns, but he could be a difference-maker eventually in 2026 in fantasy and should be stashed everywhere. Cole is currently rostered in 84% of Yahoo leagues.
