So far, the competition for the final two spots for the New York Yankees rotation has been unexciting, to say the least.
The candidates — Luis Severino, Chad Green, Luis Cessa, Bryan Mitchell and Adam Warren — have combined for an ERA of 3.40 across 34.4 innings of work and have struck out 25 batters compared to walking just 14.
Those numbers aren’t as superb as they were after the first week of games and leaves little room for hope that the presumed shakiness of the 2017 rotation will be stabilized.
