GERRIT COLE NEWS

Throws simulated game Thursday Cole tossed a three-inning sim game at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though the first official team workout is scheduled for Saturday, Cole got a head start against teammates Aaron Judge (rib), Aaron Hicks (elbow) and Luke Voit. According to pitching coach Matt Blake, the new staff ace hit 95-99 on his fastball and is "in a really good spot" in terms of his preparation for the regular season. Cole is expected to be on the mound against whomever the Yankees face on Opening Day.

Initial workload uncertain Cole has been keeping in shape, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is uncertain if the ace will be ready to throw 100 pitches by Opening Day, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star...

Impact Cole's uncertain workload is hardly cause for concern since most MLB starters are likely to be in a similar position after the long layoff, and given the limited time available to ramp up activity during summer camp. It's reasonable to expect the Yankees to be cautious with Cole given the money ($324 million) and time (nine years) invested in him during the offseason.
