Cole (back) gave up five runs on 10 hits and a walk, while striking out three over 4.1 innings, in a rehab start for Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. Feeling that Cole needed to "refine some things," the Pirates scratched the right-hander from his scheduled rehab outing over the weekend and instead had him throw a bullpen session. It seems he still has some things to work out, as the results Tuesday's weren't pretty for Cole, though it's uncertain where he sat in terms of velocity. Regardless, the Pirates seem likely to send Cole for at least one more rehab start before returning him to the major league rotation.
