Luis Severino’s hopes of finishing a miserable season on a positive note likely ended Friday night, as the right-hander left his start against the Brewers with an injury after allowing a leadoff single to Brice Turang to leadoff the top of the fifth.
As the play unfolded, a clearly pained Severino dropped his glove and was quickly checked by the training staff and removed from the game, replaced by Jhony Brito.
Severino had allowed a two-run homer to Willy Adames in the third as he looked to bounce back from another rough outing in his previous start in Houston.
The 29-year-old is set to be a free agent following the season and left the game with a 6.65 ERA.
He has dealt with injuries in each season since 2019 and the health issues have derailed a promising career.
It was already unclear what market existed for Severino this offseason, and that picture may have gotten murkier with Friday’s injury.
