Luis Severino pitched in spring training nearly after 4 years. Notably, the Yankees star had a Tommy John surgery in 2020, while he also had several other injuries in the 2021 season. Even in the 2019 season, Severino missed a couple of games due to injury.
However, Severino made his comeback against the Phillies on Saturday. But the right-handed pitcher didn’t have a good game. Severino allowed three runs on four hits and couldn’t strike out a single batter. In the end, the Yankees ended up losing the game 6-5 to the Phillies.
