The veteran right-hander will start the Yankees’ spring training game against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday in what will be his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery on March 11 of last year.build-up plan, as he is not expected to be ready for regular-season action until May or June. Regardless, it is a significant step forward for Cole and the Yankees’ rotation. New York was without its top arm for much of the last two years. After winning the AL Cy Young Award in 2023, his 2024 campaign did not start until mid-June because of nerve irritation and edema in his right elbow. That issue followed him into 2025, where he was sidelined during spring training before ultimately undergoing Tommy John surgery.
