It's the return of Cortes, but will it be the return of Nasty Nestor?
Ramirez optioned to SWB

Game on YES and MLBN (OOM)
NEXT UP: Sun, 8/6, 1:30 pm, vs Houston
Just in case you forgot you were watching the Yankees, first and second, no outs, failed bunt leading to a fly out, then GIDP. 8 innings, 1-for-7 RISP, 7 LOB.
Got to admit - the Yankees pitchers have been outstanding today.
Jake jacked one
If someone told you on April 1 that Jake Bauers would be a key to the Yankees' play-off hopes, you'd think either a) yeah, April Fool, or b) man, the 2023 Yankees are well and truly bleeped.
This is fun: YES is having technical difficulties, and the audio is about a second ahead of the video, so Kay is calling the pitches before the umpire signals.
