The Yankees scratched pitcher Gerrit Cole from his start against the Phillies on Tuesday night with general body fatigue.
Cole, 33, didn’t make his season debut until June 19 after dealing with a right elbow injury to begin the season. He’s gone 3-2 with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP, striking out 38 over 35 innings.
Right-hander Will Warren will take Cole’s spot on the mound in what will be his big league debut. The 25-year-old Warren has gone 5-5 with a 6.11 ERA over 20 starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, striking out 115 over 95 2/3 innings.
