On track for start of season Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake said Wednesday he remains optimistic Cortes (hamstring) will be ready to go for Opening Day, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Earlier this week, Cortes opted out of pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. Blake noted that Cortes isn't yet running while he tends to the injury, but the southpaw hasn't completed been shut down from throwing, as he has continued to play catch since reporting from camp. Until the pain in his hamstring subsides a little more, Cortes will likely remain limited to throwing off flat ground before the Yankees clear him for bullpen sessions. Provided he's able to resume mound work by early-to-mid-March, Cortes should be on track to avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the regular season.

Impact Cortes' absence during the World Baseball Classic is a significant hit for Team USA, as he was expected to serve as one of the Americans' top starting options. The southpaw noted that he expects to be behind the Yankees' other healthy pitchers for at least a couple weeks as a result of the injury, but he remains hopeful to be ready to go for the start of the regular season, according to Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on Cortes' progress over the next month and a half.

Mets, Yankees headline Ben Verlander's top-five starting rotations
Amid all the major pitching moves this winter, Ben Verlander ranks the five best starting rotations heading into the 2023 MLB season.JANUARY 16, 2023
Avoids arbitration Cortes signed a one-year deal with the Yankees on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
Impact Cortes had an excellent 2022 campaign, his first as a full-time starter, finishing the year with a 2.44 ERA. A .232 BABIP indicates that he benefited from a fair amount of good fortune, but even if he slips back to his 3.12 FIP or 3.48 SIERA, he'll be a very valuable pitcher next season. His 26.5 percent strikeout rate and 6.2 percent walk rate were both solidly better than average, giving reason to have faith in him in 2023 despite his short track record.
