ESPN: The Yankees’ ace is expected to be activated off the COVID injured list today, with Aaron Boone announcing yesterday that Gerrit Cole will get the start in today’s makeup against the Angels. Cole’s one of the real frontrunners for the AL Cy Young Award, and re-adding him to the rotation is a huge boost to the Yankees’ playoff aspirations. Care might be taken with how deep he’s allowed into games, as he self-described his own symptoms as everything but vomiting. We might not see a complete game from him tonight, but any time you start Cole, you have a good chance of winning.
