"Rehabbing New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole threw off flat ground in the outfield on Wednesday afternoon, prior to Game 4 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium against the Toronto Blue Jays. He threw from roughly 60 feet out and with considerable velocity, though nowhere near 100%.

"His return will create a formidable starting rotation in the Bronx, where Max Fried lived up to the hype of signing the richest contract ever by a left-handed pitcher. Carlos Rodon also had a bounce-back regular season, and Cam Schlittler has emerged as another potential ace. During the Bronx Bombers' current postseason run, though, he has acted as a mentor, specifically to Schlittler."
Gerrit Cole resumed throwing off flat ground in the outfield, working from roughly 60 feet with noticeable but submaximal velocity. He began a throwing program in August, about five months after undergoing Tommy John surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow. The initial recovery timetable was set at 14 months, projecting a return to MLB competition around May 2026, and he appears to be on schedule. His eventual comeback would strengthen a rotation that already includes Max Fried and Carlos Rodon and features Cam Schlittler. Cole has also mentored Schlittler on mental and physical aspects of pitching.
