PHILADELPHIA -- New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was a late scratch from this scheduled start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday with body fatigue. Right-hander Will Warren, one of the organization's top prospects, will make his major league debut in his place.
Cole insisted the decision was not related to an arm issue. He said his body simply hasn't recovered as expected from his last outing against the New York Mets last week. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Cole has been dealing with a stomach bug.
"There's nothing really specific," Cole said.
