With Luis Severino expected to miss several weeks with a right lat strain, the Yankees activated the pitcher who will seemingly take his spot in the rotation for the time being: Domingo Germán. He is now officially off the 60-day injured list and part of the active roster.
Germán will make his season debut against the Houston Astros tonight at Minute Maid Park, and will try to avenge the Yankees’ loss in the matinee. He has missed the entire campaign to this point while nursing a right shoulder impingement, but looked better in his minor league rehab assignment and is ready to pitch meaningful innings.
