""The target has always been between 14 to 18 months," Cole said Friday after throwing his first bullpen since pitchers and catchers reported for spring training this week. "That's what the research says. That's what the comps that we've looked at says and that's what it's always been.""
""well executed and, overall, pretty good.""
""The last thing we want to do is push him early in the season just because looks like he does now," Boone said. "The reality is he didn't pitch last year on top of having that surgery, and we want to make sure we give him the proper time to make sure he is good and ready to come back, built up in a smart way. We won't rush that with him, even if it continues to go incredibly well.""
Gerrit Cole is progressing in recovery from Tommy John surgery and may appear in Grapefruit League games before spring training concludes. The recovery timetable remains 14 to 18 months, placing a potential return between June and October. Cole completed his first bullpen session since pitchers and catchers reported and introduced a slightly modified windup, bringing his hands over his head. He described the bullpen as well executed and said the timeline aligns with research and comparable cases. Yankees management emphasized cautious buildup and stated they will not rush his return despite promising progress.
