Is Gerrit Cole going to bounce back today when he starts for New York, opposes Dylan Cease, Chicago White Sox in Bronx New York today?
Right now I don’t know the answer to that question!
What I do know though is that Gerrit Cole comes into the game with a record of 5-2 with an earn run average of 2.03 is going to be looking to bounce back!
Why?
Because Gerrit Cole had an uncharacteristic start Monday against Texas allowing five runs in five innings for just his second loss of the year. It was his shortest outing and most runs allowed this season, and he will look to prove that was merely an aberration.
Gerrit Cole is going to be opposing Dylan Cease who like him is a right handed pitcher.
Dylan Cease comes into the game with a record of 2-0 with an earn run average of 2.41.
In parts of three seasons, the right-hander has never pitched at Yankee Stadium or even faced the Yankees. Cease only has two career starts against the American League East. He has fanned 50 batters over 41 innings in 2021.

Urshela’s quick thinking helped turn three, reacting instinctively on Andrew Vaughn’s hard grounder to the left side of the infield. Urshela gloved the ball, stepped on third and fired to Rougned Odor at second base. Odor completed the turn with a strike to first baseman Voit.
