The All-Star righty stumbled somewhat in his last two outings prior to the break, which the Yanks believe may have been a result of his workload. Severino's ERA rose from 1.98 to 2.31 as he permitted seven runs in 10 innings to the Jays and Indians.
Wood has pitched to a 2.45 ERA and .184 opponents average in seven appearances since his recall, his first extended action in the Major Leagues. Right-handers are hitting just .192 against Wood, who will be making his second start for the Rays.
