This morning, I was thinking about the New York Yankees‘ pitching situation and what impact returning pitchers could have on the remaining 10 games of the season. Those being Luis Severino and Domingo German. German is due back before the weekend and Severino has already made his return.
Last night was the joyous return of 2018 ace Luis Severino. Severino was 14-6 during the 2017 season and 19-8 in 2018 making him the Yankees best pitcher in those seasons. Then came 2019, the righty pitched in only 3 games before requiring Tommy John surgery. So with the shortened 2020 season, he was expected not to pitch.
