Yankees: Luis Severino’s recurring forearm problem is extremely troubling

There’s definitely cause for concern at Yankees camp right now because this is not the first time Sevy has experienced problems with his right arm before.

In May 2016 the Yankees placed him on the disabled list because of right triceps inflammation. He pitched rather poorly, finishing the season with a 3-8 record and an ERA of 5.83. The right-hander bounced back in 2017 and pitched a lot better during the season. He ended the year with a 14-6 record, 2.98 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 230 strikeouts, a 5.3 bWAR, and a 5.7 fWAR.

The Yanks named Sevy their opening day starter in 2018, and he did not disappoint.
