There’s no way around it — Yankees hurler Luis Severino is having a tough time right now. His struggles continued on Wednesday in Chicago. After taking a quick look at his pitch splits, Sevy isn’t getting relief regardless of what he’s throwing.
Instead of starting New York’s rubber-game matchup against the White Sox, Severino came in via relief to be the “bulk pitcher”. Clearly, the Yankees are trying to find ways to put him in the best possible position to succeed and create positive momentum.
That didn’t happen. The White Sox touched Sevy up for four runs on five hits, one walk, and two strikeouts in two innings.
