With spring training less than two weeks away, the Yankees, boasting a formidable roster, are aiming for a postseason berth in 2024. Nestor Cortes, who had a strong All-Star campaign in 2022, faced injury setbacks in the 2023 season, where he recorded a 5-2 record with a 4.97 ERA in 12 starts.
The Yankees are counting on him to regain his 2022 form and lead the rotation alongside Gerrit Cole, Marcus Stroman, Carlos Rodon, and Clarke Schmidt. The starter has already to the spring training facility in Tampa before it officially starts, and the team’s general manager, Brian Cashman, is optimistic about their early performances.
Nestor Cortes is set on recapturing the success he enjoyed in 2022 following a challenging 2023 season marked by hamstring and rotator cuff issues.
“Reports on him have been outstanding,” Cashman stated. “He’s putting in the effort, choosing to arrive in Tampa early to train with our team. The feedback we’ve received so far has been overwhelmingly positive.”
Cashman’s confidence in Cortes is based on the pitcher’s established talent. “We know what Nestor is capable of when he’s healthy. He was an All-Star and a significant contributor before last year’s injuries. We’re eager to have that player back in the rotation.”
