FISHKILL, N.Y. (AP) — Yankees ace Gerrit Cole threw 4 1/3 innings for his second straight minor league injury rehabilitation start, allowing two runs and five hits for the Class A Hudson Valley Renegades against the New York Mets' Brooklyn Cyclones on Thursday night in the South Atlantic League.
A 35-year-old right-hander, Cole struck out four and walked none while throwing 42 of 52 pitches for strikes. He allowed a fourth-inning homer to Corey Collins and a fifth-inning sacrifice fly to Diego Mosquera following Yohairo Cuevas' leadoff double.
“Felt good. Got into the fifth again and threw all my pitches, so a good night,” Cole said.
In Cole's first rehab outing last Friday, he gave up three runs over 4 1/3 innings while throwing 44 pitches for Double-A Somerset against Reading. He allowed three hits, including a two-run homer, and one walk while striking out three.
“It's responding well to all the new stimulus and so we keep plugging away,” Cole said of his pitching arm.
Cole is returning from reconstructive elbow surgery on March 11 last year that sidelined him for 2025. His last official outing was in Game 5 of the 2024 World Series that Oct. 30.
Carlos Rodón is scheduled to make his first rehab start Friday against Brooklyn. The 33-year-old left-hander is recovering from surgery on Oct. 15 to remove loose bodies in his left elbow and shave a bone spur. He was slowed this spring by a tight right hamstring.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Matt Coronato had a career-high four points with a goal and three assists to lead the Calgary Flames over the Seattle Kraken 6-2 on Friday night.
Joel Farabee added a goal and two assists as the Flames won their fifth straight home game. Morgan Frost and Matvei Gridin each provided a goal and an assist. Aydar Suniev and Ryan Strome also scored for Calgary.
Freddy Gaudreau got his team-leading seventh goal and Mackie Samoskevich also scored for the Kraken, who twice beat Calgary 6-1 during the opening week of the season.
Flames goalie Dustin Wolf, making his first start since Oct. 15, stopped 20 shots to improve to 2-4-0.
Philipp Grubauer started for the Kraken but was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots. Joey Daccord made 11 saves in relief.
Mikael Backlund’s assist on Farabee’s goal gave him 610 points (234 goals, 376 assists). That moved Backlund ahead of Johnny Gaudreau into sole possession of fifth place on Calgary’s career scoring list. He is six points behind Joe Nieuwendyk for fourth.
The Flames, who never trailed, finished 2 for 2 on the power play to improve to a sizzling 9 for 20 over their last seven games.
Seattle has allowed 10 power-play goals in 17 attempts over the last six games.
Calgary was coming off a 4-0 loss Wednesday at Edmonton that ended the Flames’ four-game winning streak.
Kraken: Host the Flames next Wednesday.
Flames: Open a road trip Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche.
