Athletics Pitcher Expected to Be Done for Season
Athletics veteran pitcher Luis Severino is not expected to return this season for the American League West club.
The Athletics are set to be without a key pitcher for the rest of the season, according to manager Mark Kotsay. Luis Severino, one of their top performers, is not expected to return to the mound this year due to his ongoing shoulder injury. Severino has been out since late May, and Kotsay's recent update suggests his season may indeed be over.
Severino made just 12 appearances this season, tallying a 2-6 record, a 4.16 ERA, and 65 strikeouts. Before his injury, he had a 8-11 record, a 4.54 ERA, and 124 strikeouts in 29 games. Severino is midway through a three-year, $67 million deal with the Athletics, and has the option to re-up for the final season. Given that he's missed most of the year and will earn $22 million in 2027, it seems likely he'll choose to extend his time with the team.
