Yankees' Luis Severino done for year with left oblique strain - ESPN

NEW YORK — Luis Severino was placed on the injured list Saturday and may have thrown his last pitch for the New York Yankees.

After Saturday's 9-2 loss to Milwaukee, the Yankees said Severino has a high-grade left oblique strain and will miss the rest of the season.

Severino left his start against Milwaukee in the fifth inning Friday night following a leadoff single to Brice Turang on a 92 mph fastball.

After throwing his 70th pitch, Severino dropped his glove in front of the mound, doubled over in pain and walked around the mound. The 29-year-old was holding his left side near his oblique and was replaced by Jhony Brito after being checked out by an athletic trainer and manager Aaron Boone.

«I feel like somebody shot me. It's just like a deep sharp pain,» an emotional Severino said while struggling to hold back tears.

Eligible for free agency after this season, Severino is 4-8 with an 6.65 ERA, though he had been 2-0 in three starts entering Friday after going 0-4 with a 14.18 ERA in his previous four appearances.

«I know he was really starting to be in that good place to hopefully have a really strong finish to the season and put himself in a good spot and really have some momentum going into the offseason,» Boone said before Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

Severino did not make his season debut until May 21 because of a strained latissimus dorsi muscle. He is earning $15 million in the option year of contract paying him $55 million over five seasons.

He went 19-8 in 2018 and was picked as an All-Star for the second year in a row but is 13-12 with a 4.47 ERA in 45 starts since. Severino made his major league debut in August 2015 and is 54-37 with a 3.79 ERA in 141 games (125 starts).

«That's a tough one,» said
