Nestor Cortes To Throw One More BP Session
2 years agoNew York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (hamstring) will throw one more live batting practice session before making his Grapefruit League debut, and manager Aaron Boone said Cortes has been throwing the ball well. Cortes got through a three-inning simulated game on Wednesday and looked good. The 28-year-old southpaw is getting close to game action, and barring a setback late in camp, he should be ready for Opening Day at the end of this month. Cortes doesn't overpower hitters and doesn't have a terribly high ceiling, but he kept hitters off balance nicely in 2022 and will be a solid No. 3 fantasy starter. The biggest question will be whether he can hold up with another big workload in New York's rotation all year.
