Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
There were some surprising lows for Cole in 2022, including a five-homer blowup outing in Minnesota in June. He finished with his highest ERA (3.50) since his final season in Pittsburgh, continuing a trend of steady increase in recent years. The fact of the matter is he still led MLB in strikeouts with 257. He continues to bring the heat at 97 to 98 mph and leaned on that pitch more than half the time last season while dialing back his curveball and changeup usage. The four-seamer does a lot of great things for him, but Cole has also given up 29 homers on that pitch over the past two seasons, so it can be touched up when he isn't locating. A two-time Cy Young runner-up, Cole wasn't a finalist in 2022, but the Yankees' ace could very well be back in that conversation after this season. Read Past Outlooks

Leaves vs. Dodgers due to cramping
Cole left Saturday's start against the Dodgers due to cramping, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. He allowed one run over six innings on two hits with five strikeouts and two walks before leaving.
ANALYSIS
Cole threw just 80 pitches in the start, but the cramping kept the right-hander from advancing deeper into the game. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day, and he'll have a chance to return to the mound next weekend against the Red Sox.

Cole has become the Susan Lucci of pitchers in that he has finished second in the Cy Young Award voting in two of the past three years (fourth in the other), but never winning it. He has continued to amass an impressive body of work since leaving the shackles of the Pittsburgh Pitching Philosophy and has embraced the up/down approach proselytized in Houston and New York. He is nearly the perfect pitcher in that he has no demonstrable home/road splits or left/right splits, and the increased usage of his changeup in 2021 allows him to remain in games longer than most. The midseason struggle adjusting to the new pitch grip rules looked as though they might end his reign of dominance, but a complete-game shutout of Houston got him realigned and he went on to close the rest of the season out with a 27 K-BB%. His 3.23 ERA last season was his highest since leaving Pittsburgh. Simply put, he's an Ace with a capital A.
