By returning from his elbow injury for the World Series, Nestor Cortes will give the Yankees another left-hander to help neutralize Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani.

Nestor Cortes last pitched in an MLB game on Sept. 18, due to a flexor strain, but he anticipates being added to the Yankees' World Series roster.

Nestor Cortes expects to be on the New York Yankees’ World Series roster against the Los Angeles Dodgers after throwing two innings of batting practice and pronouncing himself recovered from an elbow injury that has sidelined him for more than a month.
