New York Yankees pitching prospect Luis Severino was officially called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox, according to the team's official website. Severino, who is considered the best Yankees pitching prospect in some time, posted a 1.91 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP in 61.1 minor league innings this season. “He’s not a Matt Harvey-type,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "[But] we are really, really excited for him. It shouldn’t be miscast, either. We’ll let him get his feet wet and see what he can do. He is a really exciting cat. I think he could have a very good career, but he is still young and he is still developing. All those guys you sign down there, you just plug them in the system and then you kind of forget about them until they start pushing their way into the Florida State League.” Severino's fate for the rest of the season has not been determined just yet, but the team could elect to give him an extended look if he proves up to the task of pitching in the major leagues.
