Gerrit Cole's Elbow Rehab Progresses Smoothly, Targeting May/June Return

Yankees GM Brian Cashman reported Wednesday that Gerrit Cole has experienced no setbacks rehabbing his surgically repaired elbow. Cole, who underwent Tommy John surgery with internal bracing in March 2025 and missed the entire 2025 season, began throwing in August. Manager Aaron Boone has already ruled him out for Opening Day. Cole is expected to report to the Yankees' Florida facility soon, with a potential return to the big-league mound projected for late May or early June.
