by Emily Maingi | Yankees Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 10:33am EDT
Nestor Cortes Jr. delivered a masterful performance, tossing seven shutout innings with just three hits allowed, no walks, and nine strikeouts in a 4-1 victory over the White Sox on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a refreshing display of efficiency and control, as he managed to keep his pitch count to 104 across the seven innings, showcasing his ability to dominate without overexertion. Despite a rocky season with a 4.20 ERA and a 6-10 record prior to this game, this performance could signal a turning point for Cortes. His solid 4.59 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 8.5 K/9 indicate underlying skills that could translate into more consistent outcomes if he maintains this level of command. Fantasy managers should consider this start a positive indicator, but consistency will be key in determining his value for the remainder of the season.
