Before the sport, Boone didn’t rule out Severino, whose ERA is now 8.06, beginning for the Yankees once more this season.
“He’s been a really good pitcher in this league,” Boone stated of Severino. “He’s also missed time with injuries and he’s a confident and mature guy. But with that said, when you’re going through something like this, it’s hard. He’s searching too.”
Robert Jr. left the sport within the prime of the third after spraining his proper pinky finger diving into third base. According to the workforce, his X-rays got here again detrimental and he’s thought of day-to-day. Grifol added he expects Robert Jr. to be within the lineup on Friday.
