FanDuel. Nestor Cortes will make his first start for the Padres after a lengthy IL stint has kept him out since April. However, he is fully built up, having thrown 93 pitches in his final minor league rehab start. The Diamondbacks have been tough on lefties this season, but their post-trade deadline lineup is much softer.
