NEW YORK -- Nestor Cortes was slated to start Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles as the New York Yankees look to clinch the AL East title with a win. Instead, the left-hander will undergo an MRI on his elbow, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
It's an alarming development 10 days before the Yankees are scheduled to begin postseason play.
The Yankees could turn to Marcus Stroman, who recently shifted to the bullpen, or Cody Poteet to start in Cortes' place Wednesday.
