When the Yankees decided to stand pat in advance of the Trade Deadline this July, general manager Brian Cashman voiced the belief that a healthy Luis Severino could provide more of an upgrade than any other available player in the marketplace. That vision is becoming reality, just in time for the club’s most important games of the year.
Making his second start since being activated from the injured list, Severino’s electric arsenal produced nine strikeouts over five scoreless innings on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, concluding the Yankees’ regular-season home slate with an 8-3 victory over the Blue Jays.
