One of those "punch to the gut" kind of losses tonight. Considering their recent history with him, it almost feels like a double loss when they're able to chase Verlander out with a lead and not be able to seal the deal. Oh well...

On the injury front, Severino has apparently suffered a setback in his rehab assignment. He's heading back to NYC for further tests, which is never a good thing. Even if all the tests all come up roses for him we won't see Severino return to the rotation until June at the earliest. Bummer! The consequences of the worst case scenario playing out should go without saying. Either way, it's become apparent very quickly that the Yanks are going need more depth in their rotation. I wasn't keen on the Yanks signing him during the winter, but Dallas Keuchel is still available and rumor has it his asking price has come down from where it was over the winter.

Let's face facts. At this point, it really doesn't matter what Keuchel's asking price is because it looks like the Yanks are going to need him. Unless, of course, Cashman opts to fill the potholes in their rotation the same way he's doing with their infield, by scrounging around for potential "undervalued assets".

Anyone know if Cliff Pennington can throw a knuckleball?
