The New York Yankees are sorely lacking in depth in the starting rotation right now.
When Clarke Schmidt shows up on the mound, a loss is almost already on the board right next to her name. For his part, the young Jhony Brito is doing well, but we can’t ask him for the moon either. As for Domingo German, you never know which version will be on the mound.
All this to say that the Bronx Bombers need the return of Carlos Rodon and Luis Severino. If for the first it will not be for now, the second has been close for some time.
However, the staff still nails him to the bench, even if he had indicated at the end of April that he felt ready to launch in the minors. And the main interested party is frustrated.
I think it was pointless to throw in the A-Low, but I do whatever they tell me to do. I feel good.
And as the Yankees have often accustomed us to, communication remains ambiguous. When asked if the team explained to him why they delayed his rehabilitation, Severino bit his lip.
They tried, but no matter…
The plan is for Severino to pitch on Wednesday at the Triple-A level in a game that kicks off at 11:05 a.m., adding to the Gunner’s frustration. The latter would prefer to pitch in Thursday’s game at 6:35 p.m.
It remains to be seen how that plays out and when he can enter the Yankees rotation.
