Yankees summer camp: Gerrit Cole vs. Nick Tropeano
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports The Yankees will play one final intrasquad game tonight before heading to the exhibition section of their summer camp slate. For the Yankees, Gerrit Cole will get a last tuneup, while Nick Tropeano will start for the Bombers.
Cole has looked ready for the season during his intrasquad starts. In his most recent outing, he dominated his Yankee teammates, striking out nine across 5.2 innings and running his pitch count up to 84. It seems likely he’ll approach 100 pitches today, in anticipation of his scheduled Opening Day start next Thursday night.
