4/06/25 Brewers place LHP Nestor Cortes (elbow) on 15-day IL. The Milwaukee Brewers placed left-hander Nestor Cortes on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a flexor strain in his pitching elbow. Cortes is headed to the injured list due to a flexor strain for the second time in eight months. He returned from the injury and was able to pitch in the World Series last season for the New York Yankees. Brewers assistant general manager Matt Kleine told reporters that the starting pitcher's injury isn't expected to be a “long-term issue.” Also on Sunday, the Brewers recalled left-hander Graham Wolfram from Triple-A Nashville. Cortes (1-1, 9.00) rebounded from a disastrous season-opening outing against the Yankees by allowing one hit over six shutout innings in

April 4 - Nestor Cortes bounced back from a historically bad start with six innings of one-hit ball, combining with three relievers to pace the Milwaukee Brewers to a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series.

Chourio advanced to third when William Contreras reached on an error when Lodolo dropped the toss covering first. Sal Frelick's

3/29/25 Why Nestor Cortes wasn't shocked when Yankees traded him to Brewers. NEW YORK — The writing was on the wall for Nestor Cortes going into this past offseason. Cortes was entering his walk year before free agency and the Yankees had a surplus of starting pitching. Their depth was zapped by injuries this spring, but at the time, Cortes was one of six big-league starting pitchers on the Yankees' roster. That's why the left-hander wasn't blown away when he learned that the Yankees had traded him (and prospect Caleb Durbin ) to the Brewers in exchange for elite closer Devin Williams. He knew it was a product of the Yankees' roster, not a sudden change of heart or a result of the walk-off grand slam he served up to Freddie Freeman in Game 1 of the World Series against

3/28/25 Nestor Cortes reflects on trade, decades-long friendship with J.C. Escarra before facing Yankees with Brewers. Nestor Cortes experienced a surreal moment on Opening Day. Now a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, Cortes realized he didn't know how to get to the visitors clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, which he called home for parts of five MLB seasons, including each of the last four. “Once we landed and bussed into the city, it brought back some good memories,” Cortes said. The left-handed Cortes is set to start Saturday afternoon against his former team, which sent him to the Brewers along with infield prospect Caleb Durbin for closer Devin Williams in December.

2/26/25 Former Yankees All-Star breaks silence on historic World Series blunder. It's been months since the New York Yankees found themselves on the wrong side of a World Series matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The five-game series was mostly dominated by the West Coast team but for the majority of the first game, it had the makings of an all-time classic. The Yankees had a clear plan to combat the star-studded lineup that included multiple MVP winners. In crunch time, they turned to lefty Nestor Cortes, who came back early from a left elbow flexor strain he suffered a month prior to the World Series.
