ARLINGTON — Yankees starter Gerrit Cole wasn’t “super concerned” when he felt a cramp in his right calf as he warmed up to pitch the seventh inning of Monday’s 8-4 win over the Rangers at Globe Life Field. But he also didn’t think it was worth trying to pitch through, given the circumstances and New York leading 7-1 at the time.
“I just didn’t think it was the right situation to keep trying to manipulate it out there,” he said.
Instead, the veteran right-hander cut his night short after throwing six innings of one-run ball, with nine strikeouts and one walk. He retired the final nine batters he faced.
