9/11/24	Yankees' Nestor Cortes strikes different tune on potential playoff bullpen role. Nestor Cortes is back in the rotation, at least for now, but he added he'd be OK with pitching in relief in the postseason. The left-hander, who made his first appearance out of the bullpen since 2021 on Saturday, when he came in after Clarke Schmidt and finished a win over the Cubs with a 4 ¹/3 no-hit innings, said afterward he was “upset” about the move , saying he'd been a “workhorse” in the rotation. “Now they do this,'' Cortes said of the change in role. Yankees' Nestor Cortes Getty Images Aaron Boone said he understood Cortes' frustration.

9/07/24	Yankees Lefty Pitcher 'Upset' With Move To New York's Bullpen. The New York Yankees have reshuffled their roster to begin the final month of their 2024 regular season amid a head-to-head race with the Baltimore Orioles for the American League East crown -- and it didn't rub everyone in the organization's clubhouse the right way either. Left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes was moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen and wasn't thrilled when informed by Yankees manager Aaron Boone. New York began utilizing Cortes for relief innings on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs and although he delivered with four 1/3 no-hit innings in New York's 2-0 win, the 29-year-old still wasn't happy when asked about the late-season transition.

9/01/24	Yankees do little right in unsightly loss to Cardinals with AL East lead in jeopardy. So much for starting September on a high note. The Yankees opened the final month of the regular season with an ugly, sloppy, unsightly loss to the Cardinals, 14-7, on Sunday in The Bronx. Worse, they've lost four of five as they try to hang onto their lead over Baltimore in the AL East, as they dropped a second straight series to a National League team that's no longer in playoff contention. Sunday's loss featured a bit of everything: Bad starting pitching by Nestor Cortes, a terrible showing from the bullpen and some shaky defense and baserunning. And even with the Cardinals spending most of the afternoon making mistakes in the field, they still were able to put the Yankees away, as the Yankees Source: https://nypost.com/2024/09/01/sports/yankees-do-li...
