The Yankees have lost Nestor Cortes to the 15-day IL due to a left elbow flexor strain, putting a dent in their postseason roster.
Marcus Stroman was called up for a spot start, but after a painful outing against the Orioles, his postseason roster spot is in jeopardy.
Cortes may only return after Game 1 of the ALDS, and his absence is a significant setback for the Yankees' pitching staff.
The Yankees have three starter spots filled for the ALDS, putting pressure on others like Stroman to prove their value among relief options.
