Cole (6-5) took the loss Saturday as the Yankees were downed 7-1 by the Red Sox, surrendering seven runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two and hit three batters with pitches. The veteran righty threw only 38 of 68 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, and things began to unravel for Cole after he intentionally walked long-time nemesis Rafael Devers with the bases empty in the fourth inning -- a move that the rest of the Boston lineup seemed to take personally. It's the first time since July 6 that Cole has failed to last at least five innings, a 10-start stretch in which he's posted a 2.34 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 66:16 K:BB through 57.2 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Oakland.

Cole (6-4) allowed two unearned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs. A rough first inning was enough to send Cole to the loss, as he gave up two hits and a walk, as well as a pair of fielder's choices, in that frame. Isaac Paredes had the big hit, a two-run single that the Cubs nursed all the way to the end. Cole didn't miss any time after exiting his previous start with a calf cramp. He's allowed one earned run or fewer in five of his last six starts, surrendering a total of seven runs (five earned) with 43:12 K:BB over 34.1 innings in that span. Cole now has a 3.36 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 85:24 K:BB through 75 innings over 14 starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Red Sox.

Cole (calf) is listed as the Yankees' scheduled starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Cole departed his most recent start Monday against the Rangers with a right calf cramp, but the Yankees' ace looks like he'll be ready to take the hill on five days' rest. Even though the calf cramp knocked him out of the game after six innings, Cole still came away with his third win in his last four starts. Since the beginning of August, Cole has delivered a 1.85 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB across 34 innings.

Cole exited Monday's start against the Rangers with a right calf cramp, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. He struck out nine and allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk over six innings and was in line for the win before leaving the game. Cole came out for the seventh inning but exhibited discomfort during his warmup pitches. The Yankees pulled him from the game as a result, though he seems to have avoided anything serious. Even so, the team will monitor him closely for the next few days, which should help clarify his status for his next turn through the rotation, which is scheduled to come up Sunday in Chicago versus the Cubs or Monday at home versus the Royals.

Cole exited Monday's start against the Rangers due to an apparent calf injury, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. Cole completed six innings and dominated the Rangers, tallying nine strikeouts while allowing only one earned run on four hits and a walk. He came back out for the seventh inning but suffered the injury during his warmup pitches. The severity and exact nature of the issue are unclear.
