What Will Luis Severino's Role Be Once He Returns?

We haven’t seen Luis Severino on a big league mound for the guys in pinstripes all season because of a shoulder as well as lat injury.

However, the right -hander is working his way back with New York’s Triple A team Scranton Wilkies -Barre.

Severino threw 33 pitches in one inning of work on Sunday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and then a dozen more in the bullpen to get in more work. “according to https://nypost.com/2019/09/02/how-luis-severino-came-out-of-his-first-yankees-rehab-start/

Severino struck out a pair and hit the mid-90s with his fastball for Scranton, but gave up two runs on three hits — including a home run. “according to https://nypost.com/2019/09/02/how-luis-severino-came-out-of-his-first-yankees-rehab-start/

According to Boone, the Yankees plan on having Severino start again with SWB on Friday now that they are in the minor-league playoffs. “according to https://nypost.com/2019/09/02/how-luis-severino-came-out-of-his-first-yankees-rehab-start/

This season Domingo German has taken the place of Luis Severino in the starting rotation and done a magnificent job. The fellow right -hander has a record of 17-3 with a 4.01 earn run average. “according to https://www.mlb.com/player/domingo-german-593334 which brings me to my question. What will Luis Severino’s role be once he returns to the Bronx? Will he fit in to the starting rotation some how? will he come out of the bullpen?

Whatever role Aaron Boone decides to put him in if it be the rotation or bullpen he will help this team tremendously.
