Yankees ace Gerrit Cole struck out 10 batters in a Triple-A game, perhaps the final hurdle before he joins New York's rotation for the first time in 2024.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Yankees ace Gerrit Cole struck out 10 batters in a Triple-A game Friday night, perhaps the final hurdle before he returns from an elbow injury and joins New York's rotation for the first time this season.'We've got to make that decision in the next 24, 48 hours. But it's really good work tonight,' Cole told reporters. 'I used all the pitches well. Got to pretty much every location. So, it's another good step in the right direction.
The right-hander could make his season debut for the major league-leading Yankees next Wednesday or Thursday at home against second-place Baltimore — or he could make another start in the minors.'I'm very much wanting to get back very soon,' he said with a big smile. 'What a fun club they are right now. So yeah, that's part of the reason why I'm just trying to make sure that I'm in a good spot to help them.
