Luis Severino’s setback means an opportunity for Jhony Brito.
Brito, the 25-year-old right-hander, will start for the Yankees on Sunday against the Blue Jays at Steinbrenner Field in what could be something of an audition to join the big league rotation while Severino is out with a lat strain.
“I think he’s done a nice job so far [this spring],” pitching coach Matt Blake said. “He throws a lot of strikes, he attacks the zone, he’s got some pitches to get [left-handed] hitters out with a good changeup. It’s a good opportunity for him.” The Yankees added Brito to their 40-man roster this offseason after he posted a 2.96 ERA in 112 ²/₃ innings last season between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.But Brito is ahead of Vasquez and Gomez, and the Yankees have built Garcia up as a long reliever who could provide 2-4 innings.
