Luis Severino nearing return to Yankees rotation
NY Post
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — While the Yankees’ rotation is nearly unrecognizable right now, with Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery on the COVID-19 injured list and Domingo German out with shoulder inflammation, they may be closer to getting some reinforcements.
Luis Severino may be back in the rotation after one more rehab outing, Aaron Boone said Monday. And Corey Kluber, out with a strained right shoulder since May, is set to make his first rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Thursday. Severino threw four perfect innings in a rehab start for Somerset on Sunday. He struck out 5 of the 12 batters he faced, requiring only 48 pitches, part of a combined no-hitter.More Related News
