Aside from Domingo German, Yankees starters are stuck in mud. In the past 11 games, starting pitchers are 2-6 with a horrid 11.52 ERA while allowing 80 hits (21 homers) and 18 walks in 47.2 innings.
While it remains to be seen if an innings-limit will restrict German from pitching past August, without the return of a healthy Luis Severino, it’s unimaginable to withdraw German’s 13-2 record from the rotation.
However, the man that first groomed Severino and German, along with top pitching prospects Jonathan Loaisiga, Deivi Garcia and Luis Gil, will no longer be around to offer guidance.
