Nestor Cortes Jr. Shines in Dominant Outing Against Guardians
by Jesse Garcia | Yankees Correspondent | Wed, Aug 21st 10:16pm EDT
Nestor Cortes Jr. dazzled on the mound, tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out four in Wednesday's 8-1 victory over the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a breath of fresh air for Cortes Jr., whose season has been marked by a middling 4.00 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. His ability to keep walks off the board and limit the Guardians to a mere trio of hits significantly bolsters his fantasy value, especially considering his solid 4.72 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a stable FIP, which suggests some bad luck has been at play with his win-loss record. Fantasy managers should note this outing as a sign of potential stability from Cortes Jr., making him a viable option in matchups where he has historically performed well.
