This is a huge loss for the Yankees as Severino will now miss the entire season and likely the beginning of the 2021 campaign as well. He was shut down from throwing last Thursday after he complained of experiencing soreness in his forearm when he threw his changeup. He was sent to New York for more tests and an MRI reportedly revealed a partial tear of his UCL.
Since the Yankees signed Sevy to a four year, $40M extension with a club option for $15M in 2023 about a year ago he’s only pitched a total of 20.
