The Yankees are using Severino in the perfect role right now

Filling the Yankees’ middle relief void, Luis Severino is throwing multiple innings of high quality pitching

Earlier in the season, the Yankees had a dominant back of the bullpen, consisting of Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, and Dellin Betances. The Yankees chose to use the three relief aces in a very structured manner, pitching them almost exclusively in the seventh inning and on.

Now that the Yankees are making a run towards a playoff spot, they have swapped out Chapman and Miller for Adam Warren and Tyler Clippard.
