Nestor Cortes is likely joining the Yankees’ walking wounded.
The left-hander is “probably” headed for the injured list with a shoulder issue, manager Aaron Boone said Sunday.
Cortes will undergo an MRI exam on Monday or Tuesday back in New York to determine the extent of his injury.
Boone said Cortes had not been recovering well enough between starts, experiencing some “achiness” in his shoulder.
“Don’t think it’s anything too major,” Boone said.
Cortes has pitched to a 5.16 ERA across 11 starts this season, coming off an All-Star campaign in 2022.
Most of his issues this season have come late in his outings, particularly when he faces a lineup the third time through.
