View More NewsNestor Cortes Jr. pitches well, Yanks Fall to A's 3-1
Nestor Cortes Jr. allowed three earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four over seven innings in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a decent outing in terms of control and limiting walks, Cortes Jr.'s performance wasn't enough to secure a win, as the Yankees' offense failed to provide sufficient support. His season ERA slightly rose to 3.50, and his WHIP remains solid at 1.00, reflecting his ability to keep runners off the bases. However, his strikeout numbers are lower than usual, which might concern fantasy managers relying on him for strikeouts. Moving forward, Cortes Jr. remains a viable fantasy option due to his consistent innings and WHIP, but his fantasy ceiling might be capped if he can't maintain higher strikeout rates.
