“Gerrit Cole still has a ways to go before he'll be back on a Major League mound. But he is inching closer to his much-anticipated return. Cole, on the road back from March 2025 Tommy John surgery, made his second rehab appearance on Thursday night with High-A Hudson Valley,” MLB.com’s Shanthi Sepe-Chepuru wrote.
