The Milwaukee Brewers placed left-hander Nestor Cortes on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a flexor strain in his left elbow, further depleting the team's starting pitching. The loss of Cortes leaves the Brewers with Freddy Peralta as the only healthy pitcher among those projected to be in the five-man rotation this season.

The Brewers have placed left-hander Nestor Cortes on the 15-day injured list with a flexor strain in his pitching elbow that the team does not expect to be a long-term issue.

The Yankees scored eight runs and hit five home runs against Brewers left-hander Nestor Cortes in his first start of the season last month.
