Nestor Cortes Jr. Navigates Phillies for a Win
by Jesse Garcia | Yankees Correspondent | Wed, Jul 31st 9:30pm EDT
Nestor Cortes Jr. allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a somewhat shaky performance, Cortes Jr. managed to secure his fifth win of the season, thanks to sufficient run support from the Yankees' lineup. His season ERA now sits at 4.16, with a WHIP of 1.20, reflecting a stable yet unspectacular year. His solid strikeout-to-walk ratio continues to provide some fantasy value, although his win-loss record and ERA might deter some fantasy managers. Moving forward, Cortes Jr. remains a viable option in deeper leagues, particularly for those in need of strikeouts, but his inconsistency in run prevention could be a concern in shallower or more competitive formats.
