Gerrit Cole Returns
Gerrit Cole made a successful return to the mound for the New York Yankees after missing the previous season due to Tommy John surgery, shutting out the AL-best Tampa Bay Rays for six innings on just 72 pitches. Meanwhile, Saturday’s game against the Rays was postponed, now rescheduled as part of a doubleheader on September 22. The Yankees also signed pitcher Peter Strzelecki to bolster a struggling bullpen, which has faced challenges early in the season. Reinforcements may also come from Triple-A, where Carlos Lagrange and Eric Reyzelman are waiting.
