Jharel Cotton To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday
5 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Jharel Cotton (elbow) will begin his rehab assignment with High-A Stockton on Friday. He figures to need a handful of starts before Oakland considers him for their rotation sometime in June. The 27-year-old right-hander didn't pitch at all in 2018 and went 9-10 with a 5.58 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 7.3 K/9 in 24 starts for the Athletics in 2017. You can take a wait-and-see approach with him in mixed leagues, but he could become a matchup-based play in deeper leagues if he's in the rotation this year for Oakland.
