4/14/24 Yankees' sweep spoiled by Guardians in extra innings loss. The New York Yankees (12-4) couldn't pull off the sweep against the Cleveland Guardians (10-5) on Sunday following a 8-7 loss at Progressive Field. While the Yankees were going for a clean sweep after taking both games of the doubleheader Saturday, that wouldn't be in the plans for the Bronx Bombers.

4/14/24 MLB fans loved hilariously funky pitch from Yankees' Nestor Cortes. New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes has long been known for his funky delivery, which often include a lot of hesitation to throw off the timing of the batter. During Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians, however, Cortes took it to a completely new level. With no one on base and two outs in the bottom of the second inning, Cortes went through his motion, slowed down halfway through and then quickly pump-faked a pitch. For more Yankees coverage , check out Kevin Hickey's work on Sporting News . No runners were on base so it wouldn't constitute as a balk, but this definitely comes close to the line of what is allowed and what isn't without runners on base. Just check it out

4/13/24 Guardians look to bounce back, avoid sweep vs. Yankees. Looking to build on a much-needed strong showing, Nestor Cortes has a chance to help the New York Yankees continue their sizzling start at the expense of the suddenly struggling Cleveland Guardians. The left-hander will try to lead the visiting Yankees to a three-game series sweep of the Guardians on Sunday.

4/09/24 Yankees' Nestor Cortes showing flashes of 2022 brilliance. A quality start like the one Nestor Cortes had on Monday was just the boost that the New York Yankees' pitching staff needed, and for multiple reasons.

4/03/24 Cortes struggles, Yankees humbled by Gallen, Diamondbacks in 7-0 loss. The Yankees' season-opening momentum came to a screeching halt in the second game of their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, a 7-0 loss, mostly due to starting pitcher Nestor Cortes' inability to stop the bleeding in the early innings. With velocity down on his fastball, Cortes' primary pitch did not have the zip it did in years past — his cutter's path was too recognizable and his sweeper was too hitable. Ketel Marte ripped a double and was driven home with Blaze Alexander's RBI single on the hurler's 89-mph cutter. Consecutive hits by Christian Walker, Eugenio Suarez and Gabriel Moreno made it 3-0 Arizona in a flash.

Nestor Cortes got behind the plate in a batting cage and watched an 8-foot-high, 1,200-pound robot spit out fastballs, cutters and sweepers just like the ones spinning off the fingertips of his left hand. The Trajekt Arc pitching machine uses baseball's high-tech data to mimic the way balls break from every big league pitcher and has been approved by Major League Baseball for in-game use this year in batting cages. Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani said he used Trajekt to view his pitches from a different vantage point.
