New York Yankees fans devastated by news Nestor Cortes will likely require stint on Injured List: "Just being decimated by injuries"

The New York Yankees will be without a crucial part of their starting rotation as Nestor Cortes is set to miss time with an injury. Details were sparse on the nature of the injury, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone did say it was his shoulder. Shoulder injuries, especially for pitchers, are not to be taken lightly; a trip to the injured list makes sense for Cortes.After a career year in 2022, Nestor Cortes has struggled to live up to expectations in 2023. He currently has an ERA of 5.16, more than double his 2022 ERA of 2.44. He went from being an All-Star to having some fans call for his demotion. Hopefully, the time off to recover will allow him to come back looking like the player we saw last season.Talkin' Yanks shared the report of Cortes' impending Injured List placement on Twitter.Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksNestor Cortes Jr. is probably going on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per @ChrisKirschner Aaron Boone said the hope is that Cortes will only miss one or two starts28925Nestor Cortes Jr. is probably going on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per @ChrisKirschner Aaron Boone said the hope is that Cortes will only miss one or two starts https://t.co/Br7CfgggPRNew York Yankees fans have dealt with plenty of injuries this season, notably to Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson and Carlos Rodon.

It would not be surprising for Boone to be more optimistic about the recovery time than what actaully happens. Nestor Cortes obviously wants to come back as soon as possible, but it is not a process that should be rushed.Devon (Yankees) 34-24@Dev2Trilll@TalkinYanks @ChrisKirschner OMFG WTF THIS SEASON CANT BE REAL @TalkinYanks @ChrisKirschner OMFG WTF THIS SEASON CANT BE REAL 😐😐😐 https://t.co/sailJxpTkFTark 🇵🇷@Tark_mexeira@TalkinYanks @ChrisKirschner the pitch clock ruined him2@TalkinYanks @ChrisKirschner the pitch clock ruined himBethany@its_all_lindyCan we stoppppp twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksNestor Cortes Jr. is probably going on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per @ChrisKirschner Aaron Boone said the hope is that Cortes will only miss one or two starts225Nestor Cortes Jr. is probably going on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per @ChrisKirschner Aaron Boone said the hope is that Cortes will only miss one or two starts https://t.co/Br7CfgggPRCan we stoppppp twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…The American League West has proven to be one of the most competiive divisions in MLB. Therefore, the Yankees need Nestor Cortes back soon. Taking a chance on a new pitcher in June could be the difference between winning or losing the division. With the incredible start from the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles, this is especially the case.Rican 🇵🇷@thatdudericanNot like Nestor been going crazy or anything this season, but damn injuries can never go away twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksNestor Cortes Jr. is probably going on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per @ChrisKirschner Aaron Boone said the hope is that Cortes will only miss one or two starts29025Nestor Cortes Jr. is probably going on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per @ChrisKirschner Aaron Boone said the hope is that Cortes will only miss one or two starts https://t.co/Br7CfgggPRNot like Nestor been going crazy or anything this season, but damn injuries can never go away twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Nicky Freeze@nc879If Aaron Boone says 1-2 starts its more likely 1-2 months twitter.com/TalkinYanks/st…Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksNestor Cortes Jr. is probably going on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per @ChrisKirschner Aaron Boone said the hope is that Cortes will only miss one or two starts29025Nestor Cortes Jr. is probably going on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per @ChrisKirschner Aaron Boone said the hope is that Cortes will only miss one or two starts https://t.co/Br7CfgggPRIf Aaron Boone says 1-2 starts its more likely 1-2 months twitter.com/TalkinYanks/st…Mike Dro@MikeDro_This sucks but he started the year behind due to injury and never caught up.

The team with the best rotation puts themself in the best position to win a series. When Cortes was an All-Star, he helped lead them to wins while the offense was struggling. Now, his struggles have put a burden on the sporadically successful offense.If he can come back like the player he was in 2022, Cortes could be a game changer for the New York Yankees.
