He'sssssss backkkkkk! New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (rotator cuff, lat) will make his season debut on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels.
He has looked impressive in his rehab starts and, most importantly, hasn’t suffered any setbacks while looking a lot like last year’s ace who went 19-8 with a 3.39 ERA and 220 strikeouts in 191.1 innings pitched.

Luis Severino strikes out the side in second inning with a filthy slider. He’s got four strikeouts tonight. #Yankees pic.twitter.com/p3tVna1Nw1

Expect Aaron Boone and the Yankees coaching staff to ease him back during his first start, but his presence could be a major difference-maker for the team in the playoffs.
