Severino will slide back into the rotation, getting the start Tuesday against the Red Sox, Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino came in for a lengthy relief role against the Mets on Thursday, and allowed just one unearned run on one hit during 4.1 innings of work. The 22-year-old struck out five batters and walked just one, and appears to have gotten his original spot back in the rotation that he occupied at the beginning of the season. Severino recently came back to the Yankees after spending some time with Triple-A Durham, posting a 7-1 record with a 3.11 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP over the course of 11 starts. He will face a strong Boston lineup Tuesday, and is in line to face Tampa Bay the following Sunday.

Severino seems like a logical candidate to join the Yankees' rotation with Chad Green optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees seemed intent on keeping Severino in the bullpen for the time being, but the 22-year-old may very well have forced their hand with his outstanding performance in relief of Green on Wednesday. Severino allowed just one unearned run on one hits, walking one batter and striking five, over 4.1 innings Wednesday (60 pitches). When asked about the possibility of Severino rejoining the rotation after the game, manager Joe Girardi told Newsday, "Obviously that's going to be talked about a lot. He looked really good tonight." Severino would be in line for a two-step right away if he were to get the call to the rotation, with matchups at Boston and against Tampa Bay.

Severino (1-6) worked 4.1 innings of one-hit relief, allowing one walk and an unearned run while striking out five and earning the win Wednesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The young fireballer's been a new man since getting moved to the bullpen, having pitched 8.1 innings with zero earned runs, one hit and a 10:3 K:BB. Severino impressed after his call-up last year, but has been alternately ineffective (6.02 ERA even after Wednesday) and injured at the MLB level this season. The 22-year-old's been better in Triple-A, though, with a 3.25 ERA. It doesn't seem like he's primed to offer much fantasy value down the stretch because he's in the bullpen and not in the mix for holds or saves, but Severino's showing positive signs that should ensure fantasy owners remember his name for next year.

Severino will remain in the bullpen for the time being despite the Yankees' trade of Ivan Nova on Monday, the Westchester Journal News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chad Green is replacing Nova in the Yankees' rotation, while Severino is a candidate to continue being used as a multi-inning reliever. In a pair of two-inning outs since being recalled from Triple-A, Severino has fanned five and walked two without allowing a hit or a run.

Severino, who was recalled by the Yankees on Monday, will pitch out of the bullpen, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Aroldis Chapman getting dealt to the Cubs on Monday, the Yankees could use another shutdown reliever, and Severino should fit the bill. He posted a 3.25 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 57 strikeouts in 63.2 innings at Triple-A after getting bumped from the big league rotation earlier in the year, and his stuff should really play up in short bursts out of the bullpen. Of course, he could be transitioned back to the rotation if the Yankees have a need, but for now it seems he will only reliably provide fantasy owners with strikeouts and ratios.

Severino was recalled from Triple-A Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday, Shane Hennigan of the Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino struggled in seven starts for the Yankees earlier in the season, amassing an ugly 7.46 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 35.0 cumulative innings. The 22-year-old has turned things around at Triple-A, however, posting a 3.25 ERA and 7-1 record in 10 starts. It's unclear when he'll make his next start for the big league club, but he could conceivably take the hill over the weekend in place of either Ivan Nova (Friday) or Nathan Eovaldi (Saturday).

Severino will not rejoin the big league club "unless the need arises," according to GM Brian Cashman, the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino has fared much better in the minors this season, where he's gone 5-1 with a 3.18 ERA as compared to an 0-6, 7.46 ERA mark over seven major league starts. Despite the improvement since being demoted, it appears as though there are no imminent plans to give the 22-year-old another chance just yet. He'll likely be high on the list though should the Yankees find themselves in need of an injury replacement or a spot start candidate.

Severino gave up three runs over 3.2 innings in Friday's start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old also walked three and struck out four in his first start back after dealing with a triceps strain. The Yankees are planning to keep Severino in the minors in hopes that the struggling righty can regain his form, but he'll need to show more than he did in Friday's outing to rejoin the big league rotation.

The Yankees activated Severino (triceps) from the disabled list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
EDGE Analysis
Severino has recovered from the triceps injury that landed him on the disabled list, but he got off to a rough start this season and the Yankees want him to work through things at the minor-league level for the time being. He did post a 2.89 ERA in 11 starts with the big league club last season and is one of the team's top young pitchers, so there is a good chance he returns to New York once he has thins ironed out.

Severino (triceps) might be used as a sixth starter when he's healthy enough to return, the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees rotation has pitched well in his absence and the 22-year-old struggled mightily when healthy (0-6, 7.46 ERA) that it's left some speculation about his role when he comes back. The club is entering a long stretch without a day off, so a six-man rotation could be deployed one or two times through, but it remains to be seen what the plan will be going forward.
