Yankees’ questionable rotation defying MLB injury trends: Sherman
NY Post
No concern hovered over the 2021 Yankees more than the durability and dependability of their starters. There was Gerrit Cole and ….
The Yankees liked the upside potential for Domingo German, Corey Kluber and Jameson Taillon. That trio, though, had combined for one start last year, and Kluber and Taillon had combined for 15 starts and 74 innings between 2019-20. Jordan Montgomery had just 17 starts and 75 ¹/₃ innings from 2018-20. So that Cole started Thursday’s matinee against the Astros to begin a seventh turn around this Yankees rotation without an injury was a positive first step.
Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
