Gerrit Cole returns to the Yankees rotation.
The pitcher will be activated from the injured list and will make his Major League Baseball debut with the New York Yankees in 2024.
The New York Yankees are having a fantastic season, topping the American League’s East Division. They are now celebrating wonderful news that adds to their already threatening squad. Gerrit Cole returns to the mound for ‘The Bronx Bombers.’
The AL Cy Young Award winner will finally be removed from the injured list, where he has been since March 11, when he complained of elbow pain and was evaluated to determine whether surgery was necessary. Tommy John surgery.
Yankees coach Aaron Boone confirmed the pitcher’s return following a strong performance in his third rehab session with Scranton/Wilkes Barre last Friday, when he struck out ten batters.
The Yankee pitcher will return to the mound on Wednesday, June 19, to face the Orioles, joining Nestor Cortes and Luis Gil in the pitching rotation.
The Yankees and Orioles will play a complex series that could lead to a duel for the East crown. The Bronx Bombers have only three more victories than Baltimore’s roster and have a higher percentage of their next ones (.676) than their opponents (.662).
Furthermore, to add spice to the series, the Baltimore Orioles had a better record in their previous meetings, 8-2, than the New York Yankees, who had a 5-5 record.
