Former Yankees All-Star Endures Brutal Debut With Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies have endured a heartbreaking setback immediately after signing a long-time New York Yankees star.
Philadelphia Phillies recently signed former New York Yankees All-Star Nestor Cortes, hoping to bolster their pitching staff. However, their new acquisition quickly encountered trouble, as the left-handed pitcher was placed on the injured list shortly after joining the team. The setback comes shortly after the Phillies made a move to address their roster concerns due to pitchers Cristopher Sanchez, Zack Wheeler, and Jesús Luzardo struggling throughout the rotation.
While Cortes has experience as a starting pitcher and can handle various roles, his immediate injury has put a damper on the Phillies' optimism for a quick improvement in their pitching depth.
