Nestor Cortes Jr. was supposed to be a stopgap in the Yankees’ rotation, little more than a placeholder until Corey Kluber, Luis Severino and/or Domingo Germán return from their respective stays on the injured list.
Who knows when (or if) any of those three starters will be ready to reclaim their rotation spot, but whenever that day comes, the Yankees might think twice about replacing Cortes. The left-hander fired seven strong innings on Friday night, leading the Yankees to a 10-2 win over the Twins, extending New York’s season-high winning streak to eight games.
