OAKLAND, Calif. — Just as the Yankees were about to be whole, they took another hit. A big one. Nestor Cortes is heading to the injured list with a groin injury.
The Yankees are expected to bring up Triple-A closer Greg Weissert to take his roster spot.
That news came just days after Cortes said he felt “great” following his last start on Sunday. The 27-year-old was asked because of the concern over his innings.
