What It Means:

Severino was moved to the bullpen on July 25 and has allowed only one run in 8 1/3 innings of relief, with 10 strikeouts, since then. Prior to his relief appearances with the Yankees, Severino was pitching well as part of the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre rotation, and now deserves a look in deeper mixed fantasy leagues. On Thursday, Chad Green -- and his 4.94 ERA -- was sent to the minors to clear a spot in the rotation.

Severino owns a 6.02 ERA in 43 1/3 innings for New York this season, but his 3.70 xFIP suggests he hasn't pitched as poorly as the ERA shows. We project him to record a 5.34 ERA and a 16.67 strikeout percentage (league average is 21.01 percent) over the rest of the year.
