LAKELAND, Fla. -- Less than a week before Opening Day, the rotation for the New York Yankees is looking intact.
Gerrit Cole had a solid final tune-up for his start next Thursday against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium in the opener. Jordan Montgomery was strong in a simulated game and Luis Severino is ready to pitch Saturday after his scheduled outing was pushed back three days.
Cole allowed one run and two hits, striking out five and walked two over 3 1/3 innings in a 6-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday.
