The New York Yankees have welcomed back left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes to their World Series roster after a recent elbow injury. However, they will be without utility man Jon Berti, who suffered a hip flexor injury during the ALCS.

Manager Aaron Boone expressed disappointment over Berti's absence, highlighting his crucial role as a pinch-runner. With Anthony Rizzo returning from injury, Berti's contributions will be missed, and the team may rely on outfielder Jasson Dominguez for speed in late-game situations.
