Luis Severino Stats

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino pitched well in his first appearance of the 2021 season Tuesday against the Rangers. Severino entered the game in the eighth inning and helped lock down the Yankee victory, striking out a pair of batters while allowing just two hits. His fastball velocity was down a tick, but his stuff was impressive, as he generated five whiffs, three of them on the heater. The 27-year-old will likely operate as a long reliever out of the bullpen down the stretch, though manager Aaron Boone said that he's "not going to limit what Severino is capable of." He should still be able to provide solid ratios and strikeout numbers, even if he's not starting.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder, groin) is likely to be activated from the injured list in the next few days, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone. The 27-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since the 2019 ALCS. He underwent Tommy John surgery after the 2019 postseason and he has been working his way back ever since with multiple obstacles along the way, including a groin injury he suffered this year. The Yankees haven't made it clear how exactly Severino will be utilized upon joining the team. He will either be used as an opener or he'll pitch out of the bullpen. Either way, he isn't someone worth targeting in redraft leagues for the final weeks of the year as the team will certainly keep his pitch count down.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder, groin) is slated for a bullpen session on Monday, according to Pete Caldera of the USA Today Network. Severino began throwing last week and should be facing live hitters in the coming days if the bullpen goes well. He last pitched in 2019 before undergoing Tommy John Surgery, missing almost two years. If he can return to the mound this season, it would likely be in a relief role, with little time to build up his workload. Fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire amid his return, but if he starts to pitch in high leverage situations, he can be a good reliever option.
