Gerrit Cole Nears Return as Yankees Manage Rotation Depth
NEW YORK — As of April 12, 2026, Gerrit Cole is progressing well in his recovery from elbow inflammation and is expected to face hitters in a simulated game soon.
Cole has been throwing bullpen sessions and is on track for a potential return in early May. The Yankees have relied on a four-man rotation and young arms like Luis Gil in his absence.
This positive update provides optimism for the pitching staff as New York navigates the early season.
Cole’s eventual return would significantly strengthen the Yankees’ rotation.
