New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is set for his spring training debut in the latest step in the New York right-hander's recovery from Tommy John elbow surgery.

Cole is scheduled to throw one inning as the starter Wednesday in an exhibition against the Boston Red Sox at Steinbrenner Field. The 2023 American League Cy Young Award winner pitched in two spring training games last year before the surgery that sidelined him the entire 2025 season.
