This another tough blow for the Yankees and their ace. This injury is separate from the rotator cuff issue he had during spring training, but I doubt that makes the Yankees or the fans any happier. Sevy is going to be out for a while and until he returns the rest of the starting staff is going to have to step up.
Despite Sevy’s absence, there is reason for optimism because the rest of the rotation has gotten off to a really nice start. Starting pitching has been a strength for the Yanks so far this season, but if the news regarding Sevy’s recovery somehow gets worse you wonder how they can survive in the long run without him.
