Around the Empire: Yankees news - 8/12/23

MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: It wouldn’t be the 2023 season without starting the news roundup with an injury update. Unfortunately, Nestor Cortes is returning to the 15-day IL with a rotator cuff strain, one that will shut him down from throwing for at least a month (and thus likely ending his season). With Nick Ramirez being optioned to Triple-A on Thursday, that opened up two spots on the active roster, filled by Randy Vásquez and Jhony Brito. The latter will probably start — or at least appear as the bulk guy — tonight in Nestor’s place.
