Gerrit Cole Getting Closer to Yankees Return

 Gerrit Cole said it was a pretty good day, but he felt he still has plenty to work on.

"Definitely did get stronger as the game went along," Cole said in his self-evaluation of his effort on Sunday. "I thought the pitch count landed in a great spot. 

"The fastball wasn't very good. I missed in bad places, but it progressed as we moved along. My curve was sharp. Cutter was great. Slider was ok."



Cole struck out four batters over 4.1 innings of work in his second rehab outing at TD Bank Ballpark in Somerset. Cole gave up a run on a pair of hits, his only blemish being a solo homer in the top of the first inning. 

Cole reiterated that he was pleased with his outing, but wouldn't say how many more innings he would need before returning to the Big Leagues, but hinted at his next start coming in Triple-A.



"It doesn't make sense to go down. I think we will figure out which one we will do," Cole said when asked about either going to Triple-A Scranton who will be on the road this week, or High-A Hudson Valley who will be at home.
