Gerrit Cole Pitches Scoreless Inning in First Spring Training Appearance Since Tommy John Surgery
- On March 18, 2026, Gerrit Cole will make his spring debut at George M. Steinbrenner Field against the Boston Red Sox, pitching just one inning as the game's starter.
- Gerrit Cole underwent Tommy John surgery on March 11, 2025, and his rehab has gone smoothly targeting a 14 and 18 month recovery timeline.
- Aaron Boone said Tuesday, 'The fact that he's getting into a game now kind of indicates where he is and how well it is going.'
- Cole is targeting a late May or June return to the Yankees rotation while the Yankees rotation must navigate without Cole and Carlos Rodón, expected late April–early May, and Schmidt, who may return late as a reliever.
- Given first-year TJ uncertainties—Sandy Alcantara serves as a cautionary example—control often returns last after elbow reconstruction in Year 7 of a nine-year, $324 million contract.
