Completes Third Rehab Start with Double-A Somerset

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole continued his progression toward a return, completing his third minor league rehab start on Wednesday with Double-A Somerset. Cole allowed three earned runs on three hits over 5.2 innings of work, striking out three and walking none. He showed impressive command, throwing 45 of his 60 pitches for strikes. Reaching the sixth inning marks a significant milestone in his recovery from an elbow injury as he builds up his pitch count for a return to New York.
