Cole is not starting Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Cole returned to the clubhouse shortly after beginning his warmup in the bullpen, per Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest, but the specifics of his absence remain unclear. Chris Devenski will start the nightcap in his place as the Astros are likely to employ a bullpen game on short notice.
