Nestor Cortes Jr. struggles in loss to Blue Jays
by Chris Schommer | Yankees Correspondent | Sun, Jun 30th 6:18am EDT
Nestor Cortes Jr. allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 4 1/3 innings in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing marked a slight dip in Cortes Jr.'s otherwise solid season, pushing his ERA to 3.51 and his WHIP to 1.10. Despite the rough start, his season metrics like a 3.72 FIP and a 5.16 K/BB ratio still suggest underlying skills that can rebound in future outings. However, fantasy managers might be concerned with his increasing loss count and the inconsistency in innings pitched per start, which could affect his reliability as a fantasy starter.
