Athletics right-hander Luis Severino exited his start against the Yankees after one inning Friday due to right arm soreness. Severino grimaced during warmups before the second inning and was replaced by Jose Suarez after a brief discussion with manager Mark Kotsay and trainers. The early departure came after a difficult opening frame where he allowed four unearned runs.

Severino struggled against his former team, surrendering an RBI single to Aaron Judge and a three-run homer to Paul Goldschmidt. He now owns an 0-2 record against the Yankees this season and has allowed 19 runs in just 13⅔ innings across four starts against New York. The outing continued a pattern of poor performance against his old club.

The injury raises concerns for Severino, who pitched for the Yankees from 2015-2023, going 54-37 with a 3.79 ERA and two All-Star appearances. The Athletics' pitching depth will be tested as they navigate this latest setback for the inconsistent right-hander who remains a key part of their rotation.
