Nestor Cortes going back to the injured list with the same issue he had is probably too 2023 Yankees to be true. It is what it is, though, and he won’t be able to throw for three or four weeks as he recovers from another rotator cuff injury.
Cortes, Carlos Rodón, and Frankie Montas are all on the shelf, Domingo Germán is on the restricted list, and Luis Severino has an 8.06 ERA, which as Malachi noted yesterday is tops among all MLB pitchers with at least 60 innings. At this moment, the Yankees rotation is comprised of Gerrit Cole, Clarke Schmidt, and a bunch of question marks: Severino, Randy Vásquez, and Jhony Brito.
