Looking At Cortes
Cortes has spent eight seasons at the MLB level with the Baltimore Orioles, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers (and Yankees).
He is currently with the Philadelphia Phillies‘ organization.
The Phillies wrote (via X) on August 19: “The Phillies have signed LHP Nestor Cortes to a major league contract and have optioned him to single-A Clearwater. To make room for Cortes on the 40-man roster, RHP Brian Keller was designated for assignment.”
Cortes (who made the 2022 All-Star Game) has gone 35-25 with a 3.94 ERA in 143 games (94 starts).
Cole Weintraub of NBC Sports Philadelphia wrote (on September 19): “Nestor Cortes will throw three innings today for Lehigh Valley. Don Mattingly said there’s a possibility Cortes could contribute with the Phillies down the stretch. He is eligible for the postseason.”
