Currently, nothing seems to be going right for the New York Yankees. Be it off the field or on the field, their struggles continue. However, there is some good news to light up the mood of Yankees fans. Recently, manager Aaron Boone shared a positive update on Luis Severino’s form and injury.

The Yankees star made his comeback after a while in the spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies. And manager Aaron Boone was all praise for the young pitcher. Notably, apart from Gerrit Cole, the Yankees do not have a proficient pitcher in their squad for the 2022 season.

However, the Yankees’ manager is still counting on Severino for the upcoming season.

Even after his poor display against the Phillies, Boone is confident that Severino will get back to his best before the opening day of the season. According to Marly Rivera of ESPN, Boone thinks that Severino is in a good spot. In fact, he said he still feels encouraged by him.

“I think he is in a good spot,” Aaron Boone said. “His stuff has been really good… Especially with what he has been through the last couple of months, you just kind of open everything. And we have been really encouraged by what we’ve seen so far.”

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.

MLB’s regular season will kick off on April 7th, and given the poor form of Luis Severino, only time will tell if Aaron Boone will start him on opening day or not.
