The Very Necessary Depth Starters [2019 Season Preview]
The No. 4 starter (David Maxwell/Getty)In the modern MLB, every team needs more than five starters. It’s just the nature of the game.
That especially applies to the 2019 Yankees. Luis Severino is on the shelf until May. CC Sabathia is expected back in mid-April, but he always has his mid-summer IL stint. Therefore, the Yankees are going to need one of their depth starters from the jump and another within a couple of weeks of the season starting.
So who do the Bombers have backing up their starting rotation?

Say hello to your No. 4 starter! That’s right, the pitcher who had a 5.57 ERA last season will be in the Opening Day rotation.
