Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole remains on track with his rehabilitation process after missing the entire 2025 season because of Tommy John surgery.
But he doesn’t anticipate he’ll be in the team’s rotation at the start of next season.
Speaking Tuesday at ALS United Greater New York’s annual Lou Gehrig Legacy Gala, Cole told The Post that his initial phase of his ramp-up program is “coming to a close” within the next month, but his timeline to return to play remains unclear.
Cole’s rehab program started in August with 20 pitches off flat ground and he’s slowly worked his way up from there.
