Gerrit Cole performs well in Yankees return

Gerrit Cole, now 35 and recovering from Tommy John surgery, showcased his pitching during a bullpen session on February 13 at Steinbrenner Field, appearing confident and in control. Although he is on track for a potential return by May, Cole remains cautious about expectations, emphasizing a day-to-day approach in his recovery. His fastball reached 94-96 mph while he carefully monitors his velocity to protect his new elbow tissue. Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted they will not rush Cole’s return to ensure he is fully prepared for the season’s challenges.
