The last we heard, the team expected Cole to be facing hitters in spring training but be delayed to start the year. Now it seems like the veteran right-hander will miss the first two months of the year. Given what we have seen from pitchers coming back off of a full year lost to Tommy John surgery, Cole shouldn’t be drafted in redraft leagues before a later-round flyer.

The previous update from the club put Cole on track to face hitters in spring training but be delayed to start next season. Now, it seems like the veteran right-hander will miss at least the first two months of the year. Given what we have seen from pitchers coming back off of a full year lost to Tommy John surgery, Cole shouldn’t be drafted in re-draft leagues before a later-round flyer. He’s likely to be scooped up earlier than that in most drafts based on name recognition alone.

Cole is not expected to be ready for Opening Day as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters he should progress to facing hitters during spring training. He’s expected to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache this offseason to determine the next steps as he ramps up his throwing program. The 35-year-old former fantasy ace should make it back to New York at some point during the early stages of next season, which makes him an interesting mid-round target for fantasy purposes.

Cole had his Tommy John surgery on March 13, so an April return next year would be awfully aggressive. Still, Cole is 35 and probably particularly motivated to make it back, and he’s also apparently felt good since he resumed throwing in August. He might be undervalued in early drafts.

Cole threw 20 pitches on flat ground, which marked the official beginning of his throwing program following Tommy John surgery in March. There is still a long way to go in his rehab process, but it’s nice to see Cole meeting the first benchmark. He’s expected to return early in the summer of 2026.
