Cole (2-0) registered the win during Saturday's 3-0 victory against Kansas City, allowing five hits with six strikeouts in six scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight start, Cole went at least six scoreless innings as he limited the Royals scoring threats to minor efforts in the third and sixth frames. The 31-year-old has now gone 12.2 innings without allowing a run after surrendering eight in his first 11.1 and now possesses a 3.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 27 strikeouts in 24 innings across five turns. He currently lines up to pitch next on Friday against Texas.

Cole (1-0) allowed four hits and a walk while striking out nine in 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Guardians on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cole hadn't recorded a quality start in any of his first three outings of the year, but he held the Guardians in check during Sunday's series finale to earn his first win of the season. The right-hander now has a 4.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 18 innings this year, and he'll attempt to stay hot when he lines up to start Saturday's road matchup against the Royals.

Cole didn't factor in the decision Tuesday at Detroit after giving up two runs on one hit with five walks and three strikeouts over 1.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander never found the zone Tuesday and delivered only 37 of his 68 pitches for strikes, resulting in the shortest start of his major-league career. It was a disastrous outing for Cole, and he ended up walking five of the 11 batters he faced, four of which came during the second frame. The 31-year-old lines up to pitch Sunday versus the Guardians and is in dire need of a standout performance with a 6.35 ERA through three starts this year.

Cole allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six in 5.2 innings during Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Cole was solid during his second outing of the season, but he couldn't get Vladimir Guerrero Jr. out, as the youngster racked up three hits off the ace, including two homers and three RBI. Cole tossed 85 pitches -- 17 more than Opening Day -- and appears to be fully ramped up following the delayed start to spring training. He tentatively lines up to start in Detroit on Tuesday.

Cole allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out three in four innings during Friday's win over the Red Sox. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The start of Cole's Opening Day start didn't go as planned, as the right-hander allowed a walk, a homer, a single and a double before recording an out. However, he settled down later in the outing and allowed just two baserunners during the rest of the outing. Cole tossed 68 pitches in his regular-season debut and will attempt to improve his results in his next outing. He tentatively lines up to start at home against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Cole and the Yankees won't face the Red Sox on Thursday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The season opener will be postponed to Friday, which was initially an open date for both teams. Cole, who had been in line to start Thursday's Opening Day game, will simply be pushed back a day in light of the postponement, while Luis Severino and Jordan Montgomery are likely lined up to start the final two games of the series with Boston.

Cole pitched two innings in a Grapefruit League game against Pittsburgh on Sunday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and one walk. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Cole looked strong in his first frame of the spring, retiring the side in order and picking up two punchouts. However, the Pirates stung him for a pair of runs in the second on a Diego Castillo long ball. Cole returned for the third inning but served up a leadoff homer to Cole Tucker and was pulled after the following two batters reached base. In more positive news, Cole touched 99 mph on his fastball and got five of his six outs via strikeout, which should be the most important takeaway given the context of the exhibition affair.

Cole will make his first start of the spring Sunday and is expected to throw around 50 pitches, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cole is making his first appearance a bit later than other Yankees starters this spring, but he's not suffering from any injury issues. The veteran fireballer is expected to be fully ramped up by the start of the season and has typically been among the first few starting pitchers picked in fantasy drafts.
