Yankees’ Gerrit Cole set to start throwing in positive rehab step
NY Post
Gerrit Cole’s shutdown is nearly complete.
The reigning AL Cy Young winner is expected to start playing catch “in the next couple days,” Aaron Boone said Sunday, possibly as soon as Monday.
After being diagnosed with nerve inflammation and edema in his right elbow — he met with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on March 14 — Cole was prescribed three to four weeks of no throwing.
He has kept his arm active during the shutdown, doing movements and plyometrics, so that he is not starting completely from scratch once he begins throwing.
Still, Cole is expected to need about six weeks — the equivalent of spring training — to fully build up before he could return to the Yankees.
He is not eligible to be activated off the 60-day injured list until May 27 at the earliest.
