NEW YORK -- There were conversations over the winter, and again in Spring Training, where the Yankees' brain trust discussed what they might do if Luis Severino continued to dominate professional hitters. They agreed that if he was to be promoted, it should be to stay.
General manager Brian Cashman said on Tuesday that this will not be a one-and-done audition for the 21-year-old right-hander; rather, as he prepares to make his debut Wednesday against the Red Sox, Severino is guaranteed to be back on the mound next turn through the rotation.
"This guy seems like a tough kid," Cashman said.
