Nestor Cortes To Make $3.2 Million In 2023
The New York Yankees and left-handed starting pitcher Nestor Cortes agreed to a one-year, $3.2 million deal to avoid salary arbitration on Friday. The 28-year-old Cuban southpaw made the All-Star team for the first time in 2022 in his fifth major-league season and second with the Yanks. He went 12-4 with a career-best 2.44 ERA (3.12 FIP), 0.92 WHIP, career-high 163 strikeouts and 38 walks in 158 1/3 frames over his 28 starts. Cortes suffered a left groin injury while pitching in the American League Championship Series, but he should be fine for the start of 2023. Fantasy managers should consider him a fringe top-30 fantasy starter.
Jan 14, 2023 • 5:47 PM | RotoBallerNestor Cortes Injures His Groin Sunday
New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (groin) left his start in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series early on Sunday against the Houston Astros with a left groin injury. He was pulled immediately after he allowed the game-tying three-run home run to rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena, who went on to win the ALCS Most Valuable Player honors. The 27-year-old All-Star southpaw only made it through two innings and allowed the three runs on two hits while walking three and striking out one. The Yankees ended up getting swept by the Astros in four games. Cortes made three postseason starts for the Yanks, going 1-0 with six earned runs allowed on 11 hits while walking seven and striking out seven in 12 innings. He should be fully recovered in time for spring training next year.
Oct 24, 2022 • 10:10 PM | RotoBallerNestor Cortes Throws Four Innings In Return
New York Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes (groin) allowed two runs on two hits while striking out two in four innings in Thursday's loss against the Minnesota Twins. He did not factor into the decision. The 27-year-old returned Thursday after missing the last two and half weeks due to a groin strain. He was limited and threw only 58 pitches before being removed. The southpaw owns a 9-4 record with a 2.73 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a 135:30 K:BB across 135 innings in 2022. Cortes will look to throw more innings in his next start scheduled for next Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Sep 9, 2022 • 4:14 PM | RotoBallerNestor Cortes Starting Against Twins Thursday
New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (groin) is listed as the team's scheduled starter on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins. He'll be activated at some point before the start from the 15-day injured list after he landed on the IL on Aug. 25 with a left groin strain. The 27-year-old southpaw didn't make a minor league rehab start while he was away from the team, but he did throw a 45-pitch live batting practice session last weekend. He was a first-time All-Star in 2022 and has gone 9-4 with a career-low 2.68 ERA (3.40 FIP), a 0.96 WHIP and a 133:30 K:BB in 131 innings over his 23 starts, but he could be on a strict pitch count in his return to the rotation on Thursday, making him a risky fantasy play.
Sep 8, 2022 • 8:28 PM | RotoBallerNestor Cortes To Throw A Bullpen Session Wednesday
New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. He is then scheduled to throw a live session in Tampa Bay on Saturday. If all goes well, he could be activated off of the injured list and return to the starting rotation sometime next week. Cortes has made 23 starts for the Yankees this season, posting a 9-4 record, 2.68 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 133 strikeouts over 131 innings of work.
Aug 30, 2022 • 1:17 AM | RotoBallerNestor Cortes Could Return Soon
The New York Yankees placed left-hander Nestor Cortes (groin) on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 25 with a Grade 2 left groin strain. However, the Yankees are optimistic that Cortes will make a speedy recovery, and he's already started running and is playing catch. Skipper Aaron Boone said he hopes that Cortes can throw off a mound at some point during the current three-city road trip. It remains to be seen if the Yankees will send the 27-year-old southpaw on a minor league rehab assignment, but either way, fantasy managers should have him back sooner than later. The first-time All-Star has been great for the Yankees this year, going 9-4 with a 2.68 ERA (3.42 FIP), 0.96 WHIP, 133 strikeouts and 30 walks in 131 innings over 23 starts. Keep him stashed.
Aug 29, 2022 • 3:12 PM | RotoBallerNestor Cortes To Land On Injured List
New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (groin) is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list with a groin injury, according to sources. Right-handed reliever Greg Weissert will be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Right-hander Clarke Schmidt was called up from the minors earlier this week after he was stretched out to a starter's workload, so he could be an option to replace Cortes in the starting rotation. The 27-year-old southpaw has been excellent for the Yankees in 2022, going 9-4 with a 2.68 ERA (3.41 FIP), 0.96 WHIP, 133 strikeouts and 30 walks in 131 innings over 23 starts. Keep Cortes stashed in all fantasy formats.
