The Yankees placed Cole on the injured list before the season after he was diagnosed with nerve irritation and edema in his right elbow. The right-hander allowed just one run, with 19 strikeouts and no walks, across 12 1/3 innings and three rehab starts. However, Cole maxed out at 68 pitches during his rehab assignment, so the Yankees could limit his workload on Wednesday.
