Nestor Cortes Feels Good After Bullpen
2 years agoNew York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (hamstring) said he made "good strides and felt better" after throwing his first bullpen session on Friday since being diagnosed with a low-grade 2 hamstring strain that forced him to pull out of this year's World Baseball Classic. Cortes also said he was progressing faster than he initially thought and reported no issues throwing or landing. It's good news for the 28-year-old southpaw, and he should be ready for Opening Day if he can avoid setbacks. Cortes isn't a hard thrower, but he's a crafty left that keeps hitters off balance with different arm angles. He was a late-round steal in 2022, but fantasy managers are probably going to be a bit more cautious with him this year, especially with his injury in spring training.
