Athletics' Luis Severino Leaves Game After One Inning vs. Yankees

Athletics right-hander Luis Severino left his start against the New York Yankees after one inning Friday night with right arm soreness. Severino was seen grimacing after throwing warmup pitches before the second inning. He called for manager Mark Kotsay to come to the mound with an athletic trainer.

After a brief discussion, Severino left the game and was replaced by Jose Suarez. "It was just getting tight every time I tried to throw a pitch," Severino said following the 8-2 loss to the Yankees. "I felt if I kept throwing something even worse would happen.

Kotsay said that Severino will undergo tests Saturday to determine the severity of the injury. Severino said he might miss some time but hopes there isn't a long-term issue. "The biggest thing for me is not my next start.

It's finding something that keeps me out a long time," he said. " Severino allowed four unearned runs in the first inning. Ben Rice reached on an error by first baseman Nick Kurtz. Severino allowed an RBI single to Aaron Judge and then a three-run homer to Paul Goldschmidt.

Severino fell to 0-2 in four career starts against the Yankees. He has allowed 19 runs, 15 earned, in 13⅔ innings in four starts against New York. 79 ERA and two All-Star appearances.
