The New York Yankees will exercise their $15 million team option on starting pitcher Luis Severino, keeping him in the Bronx for the 2023 season.
General manager Brian Cashman made the announcement while speaking to reporters on Friday.
Severino, who is entering his age-29 season, went 7-3 with a 3.18 ERA (1,00 WHIP) and 112 strikeouts in 102 innings in 2022.
He landed on the injured list July 14 due to a low grade right lat strain. Severino returned to the team on Sept. 21 and made three starts down the stretch.
