Nestor Cortes Prepares for Brewers Debut Against Yankees at Yankee Stadium

The former Yankees All-Star returns as a visitor for the first time since 2018, ready to anchor Milwaukee's injury-hit rotation in his contract year.

Nestor Cortes will make his Milwaukee Brewers debut on March 29, 2025, facing his former team, the New York Yankees, at Yankee Stadium.
Cortes, traded to the Brewers in December 2024, was part of a deal that sent closer Devin Williams to the Yankees and addressed both teams' roster needs.
The Brewers are relying heavily on Cortes as one of only three true starting pitchers on their Opening Day roster due to multiple injuries in their rotation.
Cortes enters the 2025 season fully healthy after recovering from a forearm injury and is motivated to perform well in his contract year ahead of free agency.
Returning to Yankee Stadium as a visitor for the first time since 2018, Cortes reflected on his positive tenure with the Yankees, including his 2022 All-Star season.
