Gerrit Cole Shines in Scoreless Rehab Debut with 5 Strikeouts

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole made a successful rehab start for the Double-A Somerset Patriots, pitching 3⅓ scoreless innings, striking out five batters, and allowing just two singles. This was his first game action since being sidelined with nerve irritation and edema in his right elbow in mid-March. Cole expressed satisfaction with his performance and is expected to make another rehab start before potentially rejoining the Yankees.
