Severino (3-2) blanked the Royals over eight innings in Wednesday's 3-0 win, scattering four hits and a walk while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Kansas City only managed to get one runner into scoring position all game against the 23-year-old, on a two-out double by Brandon Moss in the fifth inning. Severino continues to blossom into a staff ace for the Yankees, but will face a tough test in his next start Monday on the road against the Orioles.

Severino (2-2) allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over five innings, but received no decision Friday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Severino pitched well enough to win, as he left the game with a 2-1 lead that the bullpen blew in the late innings. He's held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in four of his last seven starts, and his 3.64 ERA along with his ability to post solid strikeout numbers have made him a strong fantasy option this year. He'll make his next start Wednesday against the Royals.

Severino allowed three earned runs on six hits and three walks over 2.1 innings Sunday against Houston. He struck out two and hit a batter in the no-decision.
EDGE Analysis
Severino uncharacteristically struggled with his control Sunday, setting a season high with three walks over just 2.1 innings of work. He threw just 46 of his 77 pitches for strikes, many of which were left over the heart of the plate. It was a disappointing effort, especially given the extra day of rest Severino was afforded as a result of Saturday's rainout. He'll look to get back on track when he takes the hill Friday at Tampa Bay.

Severino's scheduled start Saturday has been postponed, and he will start Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Yankees on Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
This affords Severino an extra day of rest, but does not change the fact that he will square off against Mike Fiers and the Astros this weekend. Both teams have an off day next week, so neither rotation will need a tweak because of the doubleheader.

Severino allowed one run on four hits (one home run) while walking one and striking out nine over seven innings for a no-decision in Sunday's 18-inning 5-4 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
It was a nice bounce-back performance for Severino after he allowed five runs in 5.2 innings his last time out against the Blue Jays. The young right-hander lowered his ERA to a respectable 3.40 in the process, and he owns an impressive 45:7 K:BB in 39.2 frames over six starts. Severino is a promising young arm with plenty of upside in all fantasy formats.

Severino (2-2) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Severino allowed a two-run homer in the second inning but settled down to cruise through the fifth. He ran into trouble in the sixth, however, and allowed a rare two-run sacrifice fly before Chris Coghlan's solo shot chased him from the game with two outs. He became a tad predictable as be pitched from behind in the count -- a result of him hitting the strike zone with just 56 percent of his pitches. Despite the rough outing, Severino still owns a respectable 3.86 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP and a strong 12.8 K/9 ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cubs.

Severino (2-1) scattered three hits and two walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first time this season Severino has avoided serving up a homer in a start, but the two walks actually doubled his total on the year and he now has an eye-popping 33:4 K:BB through 27 innings. He'll look to stay locked in Monday at home against the Blue Jays.

Severino will pitch Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino was initially slated to start Tuesday's contest, but he'll slide back a day following Tuesday's rainout. He'll still face off with Rick Porcello, while Masahiro Tanaka and CC Sabathia will move to Thursday and Friday, respectively.

Severino won't pitch Tuesday night against the Red Sox as the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Ryan Hannable of WEEI 93.7 FM reports.
EDGE Analysis
To make up for Tuesday's postponement, the Yankees and Red Sox will play a doubleheader on July 16. Unless the Yankees opt to alter their rotation in the coming days, Severino's next scheduled start will be Sunday against the Orioles.

Severino (1-1) pitched eight innings against the White Sox on Tuesday, striking out 10 while giving up four runs (three earned) on three hits.
EDGE Analysis
He's shown great control to open the year, as this walk-free performance leaves Severino with a spectacular 27:2 K:BB over 20 innings in his first three starts. That's a huge improvement in walk rate (not to mention a major leap in strikeouts), and if he can maintain it, Severino will end up being one of the bargains of the year on the mound. The one area of concern is the long ball -- he's given up four now, including a pair Tuesday.
