Cortes is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Mariners, YES Network reports.
The lefty initially appeared on track to make his fourth start of the season Tuesday against the Orioles after Gerrit Cole (illness) was moved to the COVID-19 injured list, but Cortes was bypassed for the nod in favor of prospect Luis Gil, who was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Until Cole clears all COVID-19-related health and safety protocols, the Yankees should have room in the rotation for both Cortes and Gil. Cortes will get the ball for the start of the Yankees' four-game series with Seattle after he limited the Rays to one run on three hits while striking out five in five frames back on July 28.
