NEW YORK -- Gerrit Cole is back on the mound, an encouraging sign as the Yankees right-hander continues to rehab from Tommy John surgery performed on March 11.

Cole posted a video to his Instagram story on Saturday, tossing a fastball during a recent bullpen session at Yankee Stadium.

The 2023 American League Cy Young Award winner has been throwing since August and has said that it is “fair to say” he expects a relatively normal offseason, which he said would include continuing his rehab in California through the winter months.

“We have a good setup in California and good communication,” Cole said in August. “I can upload my throwing program to the [internal] platform and pretty much talk every day. There’s not a whole lot of urgency to get [to Tampa] right away.”
