Right-hander and top pitching prospect Luis Severino was forced to exit Sunday afternoon’s start with Double-A Trenton after only two innings due to a blister, Brian Cashman confirmed to Dan Martin. There’s no word on whether he will make his next start. We’ll find out soon enough.
Severino, 21, allowed four runs on five hits in his two innings before exiting, though his performance could have easily been affected by the blister. Can’t throw the ball the way you want if you can’t grip it properly, right? Severino threw 42 pitches in the two innings and figured to remain in the game had the blister not been an issue.
