Gerrit Cole (P - NYY)
5/23/26 4:04 AM - Gerrit Cole pitches 6 shutout innings after 569-day absence as Yankees lose to Rays 4-2. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole pitched six shutout innings in his return from elbow ligament reconstruction that caused a 569-day absence. Cole left with a 1-0 lead against the Tampa Bay Rays, which New York wasted in a 4-2 loss Friday night. A 35-year-old right-hander who had surgery in March 2025, Cole allowed two hits and three walks while striking out two. Cole was unusually sharp for a pitcher coming off a long layoff. He needed just 11 pitches in the third and fourth innings and retired 10 in a row during one stretch.

5/22/26 10:00 AM - Spencer Arrighetti: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player. Good day, everyone. I'm back from vacation and the first order of business is to get back to letting you know who I think is an up-and-coming dynasty player. As the season progresses, a host of players are starting to come to the forefront as players who should be added to your team. One of those players is Spencer Arrighetti of the Houston Astros. When it comes to the Astros, not a lot has gone right for the team this year. One of the few bright spots has been Arrighetti, a right-handed pitcher now in his third season with the club. So let's take a look at why Arrighetti is an up-and-coming dynasty player.
