Activated ahead of Saturday's start Cortes (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Saturday against the Astros.

Impact Cortes' rehab assignment was initially expected to include one more start before he joined the big-league rotation next week, but he will instead slot in this weekend. His most recent rehab start was July 28, in which he threw 49 pitches over four innings, so Cortes will probably need to be pretty efficient to go deep enough to qualify for the win in this one. He was only expected to throw 60 pitches in the rehab start that got nixed.

Set for Saturday return Cortes (shoulder) is set to return to the Yankees' rotation Saturday against the Astros, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Impact Cortes cut short his minor-league rehab assignment and will step in this weekend as a replacement for Domingo German, who is out for the remainder of the year as he undergoes treatment for alcohol abuse. Cortes is expected to be limited to around 60 pitches in his first start back against a tough Houston offense, but he lines up to face the Marlins more at full strength next time through. The 28-year-old left-hander has been sidelined since late May because of a shoulder strain.

Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes to return from injured list this weekend after missing two months

Nestor Cortes will return to the Yankees’ rotation this weekend in a four-game series against the Houston Astros after missing more than two months with a left rotator cuff strain

AUGUST 2, 2023 • Associated Press

Yankees make big decisions on Luis Severino and Nestor Cortes, say more rotation news coming The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays complete their three-game series on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • NJ.COM

Set for weekend return Cortes (shoulder) said Wednesday that he's preparing to return to the Yankees' rotation this weekend against the Astros, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Cortes had been scheduled to make his third and final minor-league rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he instead arrived in the Yankees' clubhouse ahead of their series finale against the Rays and seems to have completed his recovery from the rotator cuff strain that sent him to the injured list in late May. Luis Severino is currently listed as the Yankees' starter Friday versus Houston, but that could change given how badly he's struggled. Or maybe Cortes will piggyback with Domingo German on Saturday.

Next rehab start coming Wednesday Cortes (shoulder) will make his third rehab start Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The Yankees haven't yet revealed which minor-league affiliate Cortes will pitch for during Wednesday's appearance, but he's slated to throw around 60 pitches in what's expected to be his final rehab start. Assuming he feels good after his minor-league appearances, he'll likely be able to rejoin the Yankees' rotation Aug. 7 or Aug. 8.

JULY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

One more rehab start on tap Cortes (shoulder) is expected to throw around 60 pitches in a third and final rehab start next week, Matt Kardos of MiLB.com reports.

Impact Cortes tossed 49 pitches, 36 for strikes, in Friday's rehab start for Double-A Somerset. He struck out five and allowed two hits and one walk in four scoreless innings. It's unclear where he will make his final rehab start next week, but if all goes well, Cortes would line up to rejoin the Yankees' rotation around Aug. 7 or Aug. 8 on the road against the White Sox.

JULY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making another rehab start Friday Cortes (shoulder) will make a minor-league rehab appearance with Double-A Somerset on Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact This will be Cortes' second rehab outing after he pitched 2.1 innings for Somerset on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and posting four strikeouts. Per Hoch, Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated that the left-handed hurler will likely make one more rehab start after Friday before he's activated. That puts Cortes in line to possibly return to the big-league rotation during a road series against the White Sox that begins Aug. 7.

Strikes out four in rehab start Cortes (shoulder) covered 2.1 innings in his rehab start Sunday for Double-A Somerset, striking out four while allowing one earned run on four hits and no walks.

Impact Cortes' appearance was his first at any level since May 30 following a prolonged recovery from a left rotator cuff strain. The southpaw was lifted after 42 pitches Sunday, and manager Aaron Boone previously said that Cortes would likely require three rehab starts in total before being ready to return from the 60-day injured list. If he escapes his subsequent two rehab outings free of setbacks, Cortes could rejoin the Yankees rotation when he's first eligible for activation Aug. 3.

JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making rehab start Sunday Cortes (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact It's not clear which affiliate he'll be assigned to, but the left-hander will finally be ready for game action this weekend. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he expects Cortes to require three rehab outings, likely setting the pitcher up to return when first eligible on August 3 if all goes well. Cortes has been out since late May with a strained rotator cuff.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could begin rehab stint Saturday Cortes (shoulder) threw 35 pitches in a live batting-practice session Monday and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment Saturday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Impact Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Cortes "did good" in Monday's live session, which was his second in a five-day span. If the left-handed hurler emerges without any setbacks, he's slated to pitch for a yet-to-be-determined minor-league affiliate in a rehab outing Saturday. Cortes will likely need multiple rehab appearances before he's ready to rejoin the big-league club, and he's not eligible to be activated from the injured list until Aug. 3. That's around the date he could make his next start for the Yankees if all goes well for him moving forward.

Nearing rehab assignment Cortes (shoulder) will throw to live hitters again Monday and is expected to kick off a minor-league rehab assignment soon thereafter, per MLB.com.

Impact Cortes tossed a 20-pitch simulated game last Sunday, and he proclaimed himself to be "totally pain free" afterward. The southpaw then threw a live batting-practice session Thursday and again emerged without any issues, so he appears to be just about past the shoulder strain that has kept him out of game action since May 30. If all goes well for the remainder of Cortes' rehab, he'll likely rejoin the Yankees' rotation during the first week of August.

JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another sim game on tap Cortes (shoulder) was "totally pain free" during his 20-pitch simulated game Sunday and is scheduled for another session Thursday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Impact It was the left-hander's first time facing live batters since he landed on the shelf with a shoulder strain in early June, and he should continue building up his workload Thursday. Cortes won't be eligible to be activated until early August since he was recently transferred to the 60-day IL, but he wasn't a likely bet to return much before that regardless since he'll require a multi-outing rehab assignment in the minors.

Nestor Cortes won’t return to the New York Yankees until August at the earliest

JULY 7, 2023 • Associated Press

Transferred to 60-day IL Cortes (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of Carlos Rodon. Cortes is slated to face hitters this weekend and wouldn't seem to be too far off from a rehab assignment, but he now won't be eligible for activation until August 3. He has not suffered a setback, but rather he and the Yankees are just wanting to take things slowly.
