9/19/24	Nestor Cortes pitches gem as he makes case for Yankees playoff rotation spot. SEATTLE — On a night when the Yankees punched their ticket to the postseason, Nestor Cortes continued to make his case to be a part of their playoff rotation. The left-hander delivered six shutout innings against the Mariners on the way to a 2-1, 10-inning win on Wednesday night at T-Mobile Park. “I'm just trying to pull my weight around here and compete with the guys that are the best around the league,” Cortes said amidst a rowdy champagne and beer celebration inside the visiting clubhouse.

9/11/24	Yankees' Nestor Cortes strikes different tune on potential playoff bullpen role. Nestor Cortes is back in the rotation, at least for now, but he added he'd be OK with pitching in relief in the postseason. The left-hander, who made his first appearance out of the bullpen since 2021 on Saturday, when he came in after Clarke Schmidt and finished a win over the Cubs with a 4 ¹/3 no-hit innings, said afterward he was “upset” about the move , saying he'd been a “workhorse” in the rotation. “Now they do this,'' Cortes said of the change in role.

9/07/24	Yankees Lefty Pitcher 'Upset' With Move To New York's Bullpen. The New York Yankees have reshuffled their roster to begin the final month of their 2024 regular season amid a head-to-head race with the Baltimore Orioles for the American League East crown -- and it didn't rub everyone in the organization's clubhouse the right way either. Left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes was moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen and wasn't thrilled when informed by Yankees manager Aaron Boone. New York began utilizing Cortes for relief innings on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs and although he delivered with four 1/3 no-hit innings in New York's 2-0 win, the 29-year-old still wasn't happy when asked about the late-season transition.

The Yankees' pitching struggled in the defeat. Source: https://www.reuters.com/sports/baseball/yankees-vi...
9/01/24	Yankees do little right in unsightly loss to Cardinals with AL East lead in jeopardy. So much for starting September on a high note. The Yankees opened the final month of the regular season with an ugly, sloppy, unsightly loss to the Cardinals, 14-7, on Sunday in The Bronx. Worse, they've lost four of five as they try to hang onto their lead over Baltimore in the AL East, as they dropped a second straight series to a National League team that's no longer in playoff contention. Sunday's loss featured a bit of everything: Bad starting pitching by Nestor Cortes, a terrible showing from the bullpen and some shaky defense and baserunning. And even with the Cardinals spending most of the afternoon making mistakes in the field, they still were able to put the Yankees away, as the Yankees Source: https://nypost.com/2024/09/01/sports/yankees-do-li...

The New York Yankees declared themselves as buyers prior to the trade deadline, and rightfully so, as they are currently neck-and-neck with the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East division lead. In the end, however, the Yankees were not the team that was able to pull off a trade for Flaherty. It was the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team that seems to beat the Yankees to the punch in terms of major acquisitions, that acquired the 28-year-old righty from the Detroit Tigers.

With runners on the corners and two outs in the bottom of the fifth, Aaron Boone left the Yankees' dugout on Friday night. Nestor Cortes had just hit Boston's Ceddanne Rafaela, yet the manager's steps toward the mound were met with a look of frustrated surprise from a starter who had pitched himself into jams all evening. An eye roll followed — and made the rounds on social media — before Boone took the ball from the Cortes, who had clearly earned himself an early shower in what became a 9-7 loss to the Red Sox. “As a competitor, as a starter, you're always gonna be frustrated coming out of the game there,” Cortes said.
