NEW YORK -- Gerrit Cole said he will start for the New York Yankees on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays after missing his scheduled outing Tuesday with "general body fatigue."
Cole told reporters the plan after throwing a bullpen session Friday at Yankee Stadium. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the decision was contingent on how Cole felt during the bullpen. The Yankees hadn't listed a starter for Sunday's series finale.
Cole, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, emphasized the decision not to pitch Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies was not related to his previously injured right elbow.
