Jimmy Cordero News
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jimmy Cordero has been suspended for the remainder of the 2023 season for violating the league's joint domestic-violence, sexual-assault and child-abuse policy. Cordero is now on the restricted list. The 31-year-old Dominican right-hander had been decent and had appeared in 31 games (one start) for the Yankees this year and posted a 3.86 ERA (3.11 FIP), 1.07 WHIP, 10 walks and a career-high 34 strikeouts in 32 2/3 innings pitched, but we won't see him again until 2024 if he gets another shot with a major-league team.
The New York Yankees announced that right-hander Jimmy Cordero will serve as the opener for Monday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays. Behind Cordero, Jhony Brito appears likely to serve as the bulk reliever, so he'll be the better DFS play to begin the week. The 31-year-old Cordero has been solid for the Yankees so far out of the bullpen, allowing only five runs on 10 hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out 17 in 16 innings in his 15 appearances in relief. This will be his first "start" in the big leagues, but he won't have any fantasy appeal in what will likely be just an inning or two of work against Toronto.
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jimmy Cordero lost his first game of the season in Friday's 5-4 road defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays. Cordero surrendered one earned run on one hit while walking a batter in just one-third of an inning for the Yankees in the bottom of the seventh inning. It was a minor hiccup for the 31-year-old, who had been pitching well going into Friday's game. Overall, the Dominican right-hander has allowed only three runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking one and fanning 13 hitters in 11 1/3 relief innings so far this season. Cordero will look to bounce back with a scoreless frame in his next appearance.
