Yankees to start with Nestor Cortes
Cortes helped his team beat the spread in the one game he started this season. The left-hander last pitched on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. He went five innings and gave up one earned run.
Cortes’ team won his only start as a favorite this season. When Nestor Cortes made his first start of 2023 and pitched five innings, he allowed only one run. But the way he fought to stop each of Philles’ runs, it further eulogized him among fans and adds to the “Legend of Nasty Nestor.”
Yankees Injured List: Jonathan Loaisiga, Tommy Kahnle, Josh Donaldson, Frankie Montas, Lou Trivino, Harrison Bader, Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino, Luis Gil, Scott Effross, Ben Rortvedt.
