Yankees Poised to Reinstate Nestor Cortes for World Series

The left-hander, recovering from an elbow injury, could bolster the Yankees' roster as they face the Dodgers.

Nestor Cortes, who missed the postseason due to an elbow flexor strain, is likely to join the Yankees' roster for the World Series.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated that Cortes has a good chance of being included after successful live batting practice sessions.
Gerrit Cole is confirmed as the starting pitcher for Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cortes, who had a 9-10 record with a 3.77 ERA this season, played a crucial role in the Yankees' rotation with 30 starts.
The Yankees, making their first World Series appearance since 2009, advanced past the Royals and Guardians with a 7-2 postseason record.
