Cole (triceps) will throw a bullpen session Thursday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates' ace will stay sharp between rehab outings by tossing a bullpen session Thursday. Cole was sharp in his first rehab outing, fanning six batters over three innings of work at Triple-A Indianapolis. He'll need at least one more rehab start in all likelihood so that he can get his pitch count up to game-level.
