Nestor Cortes Stats

New York Yankees left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes was excellent against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday, throwing 7 innings of shutout ball. Cortes allowed just three baserunners, including a hit and two walks, while striking out 12. Nasty Nestor has been dealing as of late, owning a 3-0 record, 1.32 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, and 30:8 K:BB ratio over 27 IP since the start of September. If he has a strong playoff, he has a case to be drafted as an SP3 next season.

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.

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.
