YANKEE ACE IS MAKING SIGNIFICANT PROGESS


The Yankee pitching is doing well this season, but let's cut through it... Marcus Stroman is not an ace.  Gerrit Cole is, and he is doing well, making good progress coming back from that elbow injury.

The Sporting News writes:

"Cole threw 15 pitches from the mound Saturday morning as he continues to work his way back from elbow nerve inflammation, which sidelined him two weeks before opening day. Everything went according to plan, and Cole had plenty of optimism coming out of the major step in his recovery.

"It was exciting," Cole said. "This was a good day for me. I was fired up."

Cole is still weeks away from making his return to the Yankees, and he will have to go through a similar six-week ramp-up to that of spring training."

Right now, we're looking at June for him to return, although he is eligible to return by the end of May.  Any way you slice it, this is great news, especially if our starters can continue to do well.
