Gerrit Cole's first rehab start since undergoing Tommy John surgery was a success, with Cole allowing three runs on three hits across 4 ⅓ innings and throwing 36 of his 44 pitches for strikes. His next outing will be either for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre or High-A Hudson Valley. Manager Aaron Boone stated that Cole will need "several more" starts before joining the Yankees' rotation, although he did not specify how many. The long-term plan for Cole's return to the field remains unclear. Carlos Rodón, the Yankees All-Star pitcher on the injured list, is set to throw 55-60 pitches in a live batting practice session with Somerset on Saturday.
