Cole exited Monday's start against the Rangers with a right calf cramp, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cole came out for the seventh inning but exhibited discomfort during his warmup pitches. It sounds as if he avoided serious injury, though the team will minor him closely for the next few days, which should clarify his status for his next turn through the rotation. Prior to exiting Monday's game, Cole threw six innings and allowed only one run on four hits and a walk while striking out nine.

Cole exited Monday's start against the Rangers with an apparent calf injury, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cole completed six innings and dominated the Rangers, tallying nine strikeouts while allowing only one earned run on four hits and a walk. He came out of the dugout in the seventh inning but suffered the injury during his warmup pitches. The severity and exact nature of the issue are unclear.

Cole (5-3) took the loss Tuesday at Washington, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
After posting back-to-back quality starts, Cole kept his recent run of decent form rolling in this 91-pitch outing. The New York ace entered the contest with a career-worst 3.3 K/9 but found his control, limiting the Nationals to just one free pass. Washington did pop two solo shots, ending a run of four consecutive appearances for Cole without allowing a homer. The right-hander currently lines up to make his next start against the Rangers on the road next week.

Cole (5-2) earned the win Thursday, allowing one hit while walking five over six scoreless frames against the Guardians. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Cole allowed a leadoff single to Steven Kwan that represented the only hit of the game for the Guardians. However, Cole battled his command all day, tossing just 55 strikes over 95 pitches while walking five batters and only striking out two. He did match a season high by completing six frames and collected just his third quality start of the season. Cole entered the game having allowed just one run and striking out 18 over 11.1 innings over his last two appearances, so while the opportunity for more was available Thursday, he still leaves the outing with two wins, 20 strikeouts and a 0.52 ERA over his last 17.1 innings. He's next slated to take the hill when the Yankees travel to Washington to take on the Nationals.

Cole (4-2) earned the win Friday over Detroit, allowing four hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Cole looks to be rounding into form of late -- the right-hander's allowed just three runs in his last three starts (17 innings) while racking up 22 strikeouts in that span. Cole's lowered his ERA to 4.15 through 52 innings this season with a 1.37 WHIP and 60:16 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Guardians.

Cole came away with a no-decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rangers, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out 10.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander generated a massive 26 swinging strikes on his 90 pitches as he recorded his first game of the season with double-digit strikeouts, but Cole left the mound with the score tied 1-1 and watched Luke Weaver immediately implode as his replacement. Cole has failed to last six innings in each of his last three outings, but the 33-year-old appears to be rounding into form after only making his season debut in mid-June -- he's given up two runs or less in four of his last five trips to the mound, posting a 3.45 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB through 28.2 innings over that stretch. He lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend in Detroit.

Cole did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win against the Blue Jays, allowing two earned runs on six hits and zero walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
After being scratched from Tuesday's scheduled start due to general body fatigue, Cole threw 91 pitches Sunday, his lowest pitch total since July 6. Cole fared well with the added rest, allowing two earned runs after surrendering six his last time out. The 33-year-old is trending up, but he has yet to find his dominant form as he works his way back from an elbow injury. In eight starts, Cole has pitched to a 5.09 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB across 40.2 innings. He is tentatively scheduled for a home start against the Rangers next weekend.

Cole (fatigue) said Friday that his bullpen session went well and he will start Sunday against the Blue Jays, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cole was scratched from Tuesday's scheduled start against the Phillies due to general body fatigue, but he is set to return to the mound for Sunday's series finale. Cole has made seven starts since recovering from nerve irritation and edema in his right elbow, going 3-2 with a 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB across 35 innings.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Cole (fatigue) is throwing a bullpen session Friday and if all goes well should start Sunday against the Blue Jays, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old was scratched from Tuesday's start against the Phillies due to general body fatigue, but he played catch with no issues Wednesday and is returning to mound work Friday. The Yankees have consistently downplayed any long-term concern for Cole this week, and he should have the chance to rejoin the rotation Sunday after skipping just one start.

Cole (fatigue) played catch without issue Wednesday and is slated to throw a bullpen session Friday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming he comes out of the bullpen session with no concerns, Cole will make a start this weekend against the Blue Jays, likely Sunday. The veteran right-hander was scratched from a scheduled start Tuesday in Philadelphia due to general body fatigue, but the Yankees don't seem concerned that he's dealing with any sort of long-term issue.
