On a chilly night in the Bronx, Luis Severino made his 2019 season debut after nearly six grueling months on the IL (since March 28) — and very quickly showed why he belongs at the top of the Yankees rotation.
Naturally, it’s important to consider how Severino feels the day after tossing four innings of scoreless ball. After-all, the Yanks have been uber-patient with Sevy following shoulder inflammation and a Grade 2 lat strain.
But according to all accounts, the 25-year-old right-hander is in fine working condition after throwing 67 pitches (47 for strikes) while striking out four batters, walking two and allowing just two hits.
