Gerrit Cole to Return in May?
New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) said he's still targeting a June return, give or take some days, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Cole said his estimated timeline of 14 to 18 months hasn't changed since his Tommy John surgery with an internal brace in March of last year, so that could get him back at some point in May "on the earlier side." Manager Aaron Boone said on Wednesday that the 35-year-old former Cy Young winner could pitch in Grapefruit League games at the end of camp if he keeps progressing. Cole has been throwing since last August and should progress to live batting practice in a couple of weeks. The six-time All-Star will be a wild card in 2026 for both the Yankees and fantasy managers. Expecting him to immediately return to ace form wouldn't be wise. RotoBaller has Cole ranked as the No. 87 starting pitcher this year.
