Joel Sherman’s 3 Things I Think: Gerrit Cole checked every box in his injury return

Gerrit Cole is back on the mound, and The Post’s Joel Sherman breaks down a massively important inning from the Yankees’ ace.

It may have been just 10 pitches, but he tried out his entire repertoire and was forced to cover first on a bunt as his recovery, 53 weeks after Tommy John surgery, continues.

His superpower — his delivery — was on full display and will play a huge role in his looming comeback. He’ll throw a bullpen session again in a few days and will continue to build up before joining the Bombers again.

It’s OK for fans to begin dreaming about his return to the rotation, which seems to be on the earlier side of the expected 14-18 month schedule — though no one is planning to rush anything.
