Cordero will serve as the Yankees' opening pitcher for Monday's game in Toronto, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Jhony Brito had been lined up to start Monday, but he looks as though he'll be deployed in bulk relief behind Cordero. The 31-year-old right-hander has been excellent out of the Yankees bullpen this season with a 2.81 ERA and 17:3 K:BB over 16 innings.
