Luis Severino has a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) that will require Tommy John surgery, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters on Tuesday. If and when he undergoes the surgery, Severino will miss the 2020 season and could also be limited to begin the ’21 campaign.

Severino was experiencing soreness in his right forearm that dated back to his final start in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, and he was evaluated at New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Monday by two doctors who recommended the surgery.
