Severino optioned to Triple-A; Girardi doing his best “managing” right now; Girardi talks about catching Mo; Marlins will look into adding A-Rod

MLB.com | Joshua Needelman: Following another rough outing, Luis Severino was again optioned to Triple-A so he can work on his issues. Manager Joe Girardi believes he has the stuff to pitch at the major league level, but Severino just needs to put it together. Most noteworthy, though, is that Girardi also mentioned that it’s still too early to say that Severino isn’t a starter or should be a reliever instead.

New York Daily News | Mike Lupica: Even though he didn’t handle Alex Rodriguez’s last week in the best way possible, Joe Girardi has not just done a good job of managing the Yankees this season, he’s done a great job.
