Nestor Cortes Jr. delivered a gem on Saturday, tossing 4 1/3 no-hit innings with zero earned runs, one walk, and three strikeouts in a 2-0 victory over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a masterclass in efficiency, as Cortes Jr. needed just 48 pitches to get through his innings, showcasing his ability to control the game without allowing any hits. His season ERA now improves to 3.97, complementing a solid 1.15 WHIP and a 4.45 strikeout-to-walk ratio. This performance should reassure fantasy managers about Cortes Jr.'s reliability, especially considering his ability to maintain a low BABIP (.289) and a decent strikeout rate (8.1 K/9). Moving forward, he remains a viable fantasy option, particularly in leagues that value WHIP and ERA.
