NEW YORK -- Alarms sounded Tuesday when the New York Yankees announced Gerrit Cole was a late scratch from his start against the Philadelphia Phillies. Cole insisted the decision was not related to an arm injury or any physical ailment. He was just not recovering as expected after his previous start.
Still, a tinge of concern permeated the fanbase for the rest of the week. Cole, after all, didn't make his season debut until mid-June because of an elbow injury, and he is instrumental for the Yankees' championship chances.
