There is going to come the point this season where the Yankees will be forced to make the difficult decision as to whether or not bringing back Luis Severino is a wise decision.
I liken Severino’s lingering Grade 2 lat strain to what Kevin Durant recently went through during the NBA Finals. Though we’re talking about two completely different injured body parts, Durant was never truly healthy, despite being cleared by the Warriors medical staff.
Obviously, Durant wanted to play, and Golden State needed him back in the series. However, a severe calf strain actually resulted in a torn Achilles tendon which will cost him the entire 2019/20 season.
