NEW YORK -- Nestor Cortes knows there's a long-term injury risk if he pitches in the World Series just one month after being diagnosed with a flexor strain, often a precursor to a serious elbow injury. Pitching could cost Cortes, a free agent after next season, millions of dollars.
But he expects to be on the New York Yankees' World Series roster for Game 1 on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's a risk -- after conversations with team officials, trainers, his agents and his family -- that he's willing to take.
