Nestor Cortes Trying To Recapture His Dominance Saturday
12 months agoNew York Yankees lefty Nestor Cortes is getting the ball for Saturday's matchup with Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays. The former 36th-rounder hasn't been the pitcher fantasy managers have been accustomed to, pitching to a 4.74 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 24.2% strikeout rate with a 3-2 record. It's way too early to give up on Cortes, who ran a 2.61 ERA from 2021-2022, but the Rays will be a tough task, as they own a .857 team OPS, the best in the league. The native of Cuba is still a must-start in deeper leagues, but fantasy owners in standard 12-team formats can wait until he rediscovers his form.
