Nestor Cortes Jr. fighting to keep his place in Yankees rotation
Nestor Cortes Jr. has had it tough going this season. His season ERA is at 3.99 and he currently holds a 4-9 record. On Saturday, Cortes found it difficult against the Tampa Bay Rays as he earned six runs in 4.1 innings, including three home runs.
After Saturday's start, there's some concern surrounding Cortes Jr.'s position in the team's rotation. With the July 30 trade deadline approaching, the front office are eyeing starting pitchers to trade for.
AL All-Star starter and Detroit Tigers' ace Tarik Skubal is one, while they are also looking at a possible trade for Cubs starter Jameson Taillon. If the Yankees are unable to land any of these pitchers, they have the option of bringing in someone from within their system.
The likes of Clayton Beeter (3-1, 2.53 ERA in seven starts), who has been impressive in Triple-A and a returning Cody Poteet (3-0, 2.14 ERA in four starts) can contest for Cortes Jr.'s spot in the rotation.
Nestor Cortes Jr. is currently scheduled to start against the Boston Red Sox on July 27.
