The pitcher acknowledged that these struggles were taking a toll on his confidence. He admitted that while physically fit, he never imagined performing so poorly and felt dissatisfied with his recent pitching.

Meanwhile, Aaron Boone gave an interview expressing his astonishment at the Yankees’ overall performance, specifically addressing Severino’s struggles. He emphasized the need to analyze Severino’s delivery, deception thoroughly, and all other aspects to help him regain his form.
“We need to thoroughly examine everything, from his delivery to deception, and all those elements,” Boone stated.
Boone reaffirmed no physical concerns with Severino, attributing his struggles to execution errors. The team was committed to investigating and addressing Severino’s performance decline.

Adding to Severino’s worries, Carlos Rodon, one of the Yankees’ top pitchers, was set to return to the lineup on Friday. Aaron Boone confirmed Rodon’s upcoming appearance on Friday night against the Chicago Cubs, further intensifying the challenging situation for Severino.
Fans express disappointment in Luis Severino’s performance for the Yankees
Disappointed fans took to social media after the defeat, expressing their desire for Luis Severino to leave the Yankees and seek opportunities elsewhere. Some comments suggested that Carlos Rodon’s return could threaten Severino’s position on the team, urging him to reflect on his poor performances.
While some may exaggerate, it cannot be denied that Luis Severino’s name once again dominated the headlines for the wrong reasons. Time is running out for him to rediscover his form before it becomes too late.
It’s worth noting that Luis Severino had missed the first seven weeks of the 2023 season due to a lat strain, effectively sidelining him for the entire year. The New York Yankees had high hopes for a healthy Severino, expecting him to form a formidable rotation alongside ace Gerrit Cole, and Carlos Rodon.
However, Severino’s struggles continued during Thursday night’s game at Yankee Stadium, where he was knocked out during the Baltimore Orioles’ seven-run third inning.
In a disappointing performance, Severino conceded seven runs on ten hits and a walk in just 2.2 innings, resulting in a resounding 14-1 victory for the Orioles.
