Yesterday, Luis Severino started his first game since Game 3 of the 2019 ALCS against the Astros. It has been a long and arduous road for Severino to get to this point, having been limited by injury to just 19.1 innings since the end of 2018. He looked sharp in his final spring outing, and seemed to have carried the progress from that start into the game against the Red Sox.
Severino went three-plus innings, giving up two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and no walks, and racked up a 33 percent whiff rate on his changeup, cutter, and slider.
