The Yankees’ starting left-hander, Nestor Cortes, probably ended his season prematurely. The day before yesterday, he found that his left hand was unable to lift up. After an MRI diagnosis, he was diagnosed with a strained left shoulder rotator muscle. He announced his return to the 15-day disabled list over the weekend. Cotes was previously affected by the same injury (60-day injury), and now there are only two months left in the regular season. Cotes has played in 12 games this season and has a 4.97 ERA, a stark contrast to his performance last season (2.44 ERA).

If Cotes doesn’t have to undergo surgery, head coach Aaron Boone estimates it will take at least three to four weeks for him to return to the mound. Cotes, who missed all of June and July, returned to pitch four innings against the Astros in early August before being injured again.

Another starting pitcher for the Yankees, Carlos Rodon, is also suffering from constant injuries. He only debuted in July this season and has only played in 6 games so far. He is currently on the 15-day disabled list. Rodong posted a 2.88 ERA with the Giants last year and a 7.33 ERA with the Yankees this year.

Also problematic in the starting rotation is Domingo German. Herman is a fairly normal pitcher, but he recently broke out with alcoholism and is currently seeking treatment. With no other options, the Yankees considered returning Luis Severino to the starting rotation, who had a ridiculous 8.06 ERA this season.

The Yankees beat the Marlins 9-4 in the bullpen on the 12th and won their 60th regular-season win. Aaron Judge hit the 22nd home. The Mariners have won 9 of their last 10 games. After overtaking the Red Sox and Yankees in the American League wild card battle, after the starting rotation exploded, it must be more difficult for the Yankees to climb up.
