The New York Yankees ace and 2023 American League Cy Young Award winner is expected to pitch for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders against the Syracuse Mets on Saturday at 6:05 p.m.
Cole has made five rehab starts â three with Double-A Somerset, two with High Single-A Hudson Valley â as he works his way back from reconstructive elbow surgery last March. In 23.2 innings, he has allowed 15 runs and 22 hits with 22 strikeouts and just two walks.
Each outing, Cole has increased his pitch count.

It is expected that Cole will throw around 80 pitches Saturday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has told reporters in New York he thinks Cole likely needs one or two more rehab starts before returning to the majors.
Cole has not pitched in the majors since Oct. 30, 2024, in Game 5 of the 2024 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Yankee Stadium. He missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
