With the season-ending injury to Luis Severino, the Yankees are shutting him down for 2023, likely ending his tenure as a Yankee. As we roll deeper into September, the window to get rehab games with a MiLB affiliate and work back into a starter’s rhythm grows smaller, and with Severino’s impending free agency, it was best to shut him down before injuries can further plague him. That being said, this creates a pressing need for a starter to fill in for Severino in the rotation, and with the youth movement underway, all options seem on the table.
