Nestor Cortes, a former Yankees pitcher, is being considered for a trade back to New York as the team looks to improve their pitching staff before the trade deadline. Despite his past success, fan sentiment is largely against his return due to recent performance issues and injury concerns.

Nestor Cortes may be on the trading block despite the Brewers' strong record, as the team has depth in the rotation.

After a disappointing debut where Nestor Cortes allowed five home runs, he quickly rebounded with a no-hit performance in his next outing. This resilience has sparked optimism about his potential as a key pitcher for the Brewers.

Nestor Cortes has showcased his resilience by pitching four scoreless innings in his rehab assignment with the Timber Rattlers. His focus is on regaining health and velocity to compete in the Brewers' crowded rotation, which features strong performers like Freddy Peralta and Brandon Woodruff.

Nestor Cortes is recovering from a flexor strain and is expected to return to the Brewers' rotation soon. His performance will heavily influence whether he gets traded as his value rises with a successful return.
