Gerrit Cole to Make Rehab Start

DENVER — Gerrit Cole could be on track for an early August return to the Pirates' rotation.
Cole (right lat strain) is not with the team in Denver. Cole joined Triple-A Indianapolis in Rochester, N.Y., where he threw a 55-pitch bullpen session without issue Friday.
Cole is scheduled to make an 80-pitch rehab start Monday for Indianapolis at Rochester, according to Pirates manager Clint Hurdle.
Cole did not make a rehab start after returning from shoulder fatigue he suffered in early June. Cole made two starts after returning from the disabled list before leaving his second start with back discomfort.
The Pirates have been cautious with their prized young pitcher. They don't want Cole returning to the disabled for a third time this season, and want him healthy and to be a potential difference maker like he was last September.
