Gerrit Cole on the Verge of Making his 2026 Debut?
The New York Yankees are discussing having right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) return to their starting rotation instead of making his final minor-league rehab start, but that hasn't been officially set yet, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. "We're talking through everything," according to manager Aaron Boone. Cole has been looking good on the farm as he rehabs back from Tommy John surgery that kept him out for all of last year, and the 35-year-old former American League Cy Young winner allowed just one run with six strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. If the Yankees decide that Cole is ready for his 2026 debut in the big leagues, he will most likely make his first start for the team this Friday in a tough matchup against the first-place Tampa Bay Rays. Cole is a potential fantasy ace when he's right, but we wouldn't recommend starting him right away this weekend if he takes the hill versus Tampa. He's still available in 15% of Yahoo leagues, so fantasy managers should run to the waiver wire and add him immediately if he's floating around on your league's wire.
