Nestor Cortes Jr. allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out nine over five innings in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a solid performance that helped the Yankees edge out a win, Cortes Jr.'s inability to go deeper into the game may concern fantasy managers relying on him for more innings. His season stats, including a 3.90 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, remain respectable, but his 8.3 K/9 and 4.33 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest that while he can deliver strikeouts, his control and efficiency could be areas of slight worry. Fantasy managers should appreciate his strikeout abilities but remain cautious about his potential for high pitch counts limiting his outings.
