Athletics starting pitcher Luis Severino was nearly able to throw a complete game during Saturday's contest against the Milwaukee Brewers. The right-hander worked eight innings, allowing three hits, and one earned run in the win. Somehow, Severino was able to work this deep into a game while only registering one strikeout. The right-hander has looked good lately with one earned run or less in each of his last two starts. It appears Severino is back on track after a few rough starts to begin the season. He'll be a favorable streaming option for his next start against the Chicago White Sox.

Athletics right-handed pitcher Luis Severino started his 2025 regular season on a high note as he went toe-to-toe with Seattle Mariner's ace Logan Gilbert. Severino struck out six batters in six innings pitched, allowed three hits, gave up four walks, and didn't allow a run. The only concerning aspect of his night was his four walks and 57 percent strike percentage. He was able to work around the walks on Thursday, but he will need to clean that up moving forward. Nonetheless, his six scoreless innings resulted in a no-decision, as the Athletics bullpen coughed up the lead in the eighth inning. Fantasy Managers should be encouraged by Severino's first outing with his new team. Next up for the right-handed pitcher is a home matchup with the Chicago Cubs next week.

Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports that Oakland Athletics pitcher Luis Severino will toe the rubber for the team on Opening Day. It comes as little surprise, considering the 31-year-old is the most qualified of his rotation-mates to do so. Severino pitched a full workload last season for the first time since 2018 -- the last time he threw more than 102 innings in a campaign. He was solid for the New York Mets -- if unspectacular -- notching an 8.0 K/9 and 3.91 ERA in 182 innings -- right in line with his xERA of 3.88. Oakland's rotation contains a few new, interesting arms in 2025, including Severino and former Tampa Bay Rays starter Jeffrey Springs. Only time will tell if it helps them improve from the third-worst record in the American League in 2024 (69-93).

The Athletics agreed to a three-year, $67 million deal with free-agent right-hander Luis Severino on Thursday, according to sources. It's the largest guarantee in the franchise's history. Severino had a bounce-back season in 2024 with the New York Mets, posting a 3.91 ERA over 182 innings, and now he'll head west to pitch for the A's, who will play in a minor-league stadium in Sacramento for the next three seasons before their planned move to Las Vegas. Severino will now anchor the A's rotation, but he can opt out of his deal after the second year. The 30-year-old was an All-Star in 2017 and 2018 with the Yankees before missing most of 2019 with a lat strain and all of 2020 due to Tommy John surgery. Severino struck out 161 batters in 2024 with the Mets and had the fourth-hardest average fastball among qualified starters. Durability issues aren't going away, and his ceiling is lower with the A's.

Free-agent right-hander Luis Severino is officially rejecting the New York Mets' $21.05 million qualifying offer for one year on Tuesday, according to a source. The Mets and Severino are allowed to discuss a potential deal for a reunion, but if he signs elsewhere on the open market, the Mets will get an extra draft pick as compensation. The Mets could get additional compensation if left-hander Sean Manaea also rejects his qualifying offer and signs with another club. Severino will be heading into his age-31 season in 2025 coming off a year in which he went 11-7 with a 3.91 ERA (4.21 FIP), a 1.24 WHIP and 161:60 K:BB in 182 innings over his 31 starts in his first year in Queens. The two-time All-Star was able to stay healthy all year, but fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect a second straight year of good health for the oft-injured hurler.

Free-agent starting pitcher Luis Severino is expected to decline the qualifying offer that the New York Mets extended to him. The qualifying offer was for one year, however, Severino is seeking a multi-year deal, looking to capitalize on the relative success of his 2024 campaign. The 30-year-old made 31 starts and pitched 182 innings, both of which were the most since 2018, posting a 3.91 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. The former 2x All-Star has until Tuesday to accept the offer, but if he does not and another team signs him, then the Mets would get draft pick compensation.

The New York Mets are extending a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer to free-agent right-hander Luis Severino. If Severino rejects the team's qualifying offer and signs with another team on the open market, the Mets will receive draft-pick compensation. In his first year in Queens, Severino went 11-7 for the Mets with a 3.91 ERA (4.21 FIP), a 1.24 WHIP and a 161:60 K:BB in 182 innings over his 31 starts. The 30-year-old veteran from Dominican Republic allowed nine runs (six earned) on 17 hits while walking six and striking out 13 in his three playoff starts in October. It was a serviceable season for Severino, but his strikeout rate was still at only 21.2 percent, and injury questions aren't going to go away. Severino's fantasy value will probably be the highest if he remains with the Mets for a second go-round.

New York Mets right-hander Luis Severino flew ahead of the team back to New York before his Game 3 start against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series on Wednesday at Citi Field. Severino will head into Wednesday's start after allowing three earned runs in six innings for a quality start and a no-decision in Game 2 of the NL Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. He also walked none and struck out seven. He had another quality start in his win in Game 1 of the Wild-Card Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, giving up three earned runs in six innings while walking two and striking out three. Dating back to the final month of the regular season, Severino has quality starts in six of his last seven starts, so he's been pitching well heading into a showdown with one of the best offenses in baseball on Wednesday. Severino didn't face the Dodgers at all in 2024.

New York Mets right-hander Luis Severino will make the start in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday. Right-hander Kodai Senga is going to start Game 1 on Saturday despite making just one start in 2024. Severino got the win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the Wild-Card series on Tuesday, tossing a quality start (three earned runs allowed in six innings while walking two and striking out three). He faced the Phillies twice in 2024 -- once at home and once on the road in back-to-back outings on Sept. 14 and 19 -- tossing quality starts both times with six earned runs allowed on eight hits (three homers) while walking three and striking out 12 in 12 innings. Severino was much better at home (2.96 ERA) than on the road (5.00 ERA), and he'll be a volatile DFS play against a strong Phillies lineup.

New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino got the job done in Tuesday's wild-card Game 1 8-4 win over the Brewers. Severino pitched six innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts. He also hit a batter. The 30-year-old has changed his game approach from earlier in his career but had a successful regular season, going 11-7 with a 3.91 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and a 21.2% strikeout rate in 31 starts and 182 IP. He will turn things over to Sean Manaea for Wednesday's Game 2 with the opportunity to clinch a spot in the National Leagues Division Series with a road sweep.

New York Mets right-hander Luis Severino will start Game 1 of the wild-card series against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Tuesday. The Mets won Game 1 of their doubleheader on Monday versus the division-rival Atlanta Braves to clinch a spot in the postseason, and they'll head right back to Milwaukee after losing two of three there this past weekend. In his first year with the Mets, Severino went 11-7 with a 3.91 ERA (4.21 FIP), a 1.24 WHIP and a 161:60 K:BB in 182 innings over 31 starts. The 30-year-old Dominican allowed four earned runs in four innings for a loss in his last start on Sept. 24 against the Braves and he posted a 3.64 ERA with 30 K's and eight walks in his five starts in September. Severino's only start against the Brewers in 2024 was his first of the year on March 30, when he allowed six runs (three earned) in five innings for a loss in New York.

New York Mets starter Luis Severino has been bumped up in the rotation and is set to start Tuesday's series opener against the Atlanta Braves. With this move, Jose Quintana will be skipped and lose his two-start status for next week. Severino, on the other hand, could end up starting the final game of the season next Sunday if the Mets need to win to get into the postseason. Fantasy managers should be wary, though, because if the Mets clinch before Sunday they will likely not use Severino.

New York Mets pitcher Luis Severino threw a shutout on Saturday, blanking the Miami Marlins 4-0. It was his first complete game shutout since 2018. The veteran also struck out eight batters while scattering four hits and a walk. Severino moves his record to 8-6 on the season with a 3.91 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, and 117 strikeouts in 142 innings. He will look to match this dominant effort when he faces the San Diego Padres next week on their next road trip. The Mets will continue to need strong efforts from Severino as they battle for a National League Wild Card berth with a 64-59 record.

New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino struck out seven Marlins in six innings and picked up the win in the Mets' 1-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Severino's record now sits at 7-3 and saw his ERA decrease to 3.58 on the season. Though the right-hander walked three batters, he only gave up two hits and had a minimal amount of stressful innings to deal with. With the Mets holding onto the final wild card spot in the NL, performances like Severino's on Saturday against a subpar opponent are incredibly critical. It also is unlikely for Severino to be a part of any trade discussions if the Mets are still in the wild card race come July 30th. His next scheduled start is set for Thursday when the Mets host the Atlanta Braves.

New York Mets right-hander Luis Severino turned in a quality start in his team's 6-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Severino allowed two runs on four hits over 6 1/3 innings while striking out four and walking three to pick up the win. While the three walks weren't great to see, Severino still bounced back from a rough outing that saw him allow seven runs in his previous start. Severino heads into the All-Star break with a 6-3 record, 3.78 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 81 strikeouts over 109 2/3 innings of work. Severino has been a reliable fantasy starting pitcher this season, even though his strikeout numbers are down from previous seasons.

New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino had his best start of the season on Sunday Night Baseball against the Chicago Cubs, throwing six shutout innings to pick up his fifth win of the season in a 5-2 victory. Severino was firing on all cylinders in this one, allowing just three hits and striking out ten while walking none. It was his first double-digit strikeout effort of the season and the first time he allowed no runs in a start. Some fantasy managers in deeper leagues may have given up on Severino after a bad start against the Texas Rangers last week, and he is worthy of an add in those formats. In standard size leagues, taking a shot on Severino could make sense if pitching is a need, but he will have to show this more often to become a must-roster player.

The New York Mets have tweaked their starting rotation slightly, moving right-hander Luis Severino up to Sunday's contest at Wrigley Field against the Cubs, with left-hander David Peterson being pushed back. Severino will now get a better matchup, as he was previously slated to start against the first-place New York Yankees on Tuesday. Peterson will now likely start early next week in a tougher matchup against the Bombers. Severino allowed a season-high six earned runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out one in 6 1/3 innings his last time out against the Rangers. Overall, he's been serviceable with a 3.52 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 84 1/3 innings and 14 starts, but he's also carrying a career-low 17.4% strikeout rate. Peterson is a perfect 3-0 with a 3.97 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with only 12 K's in 22 2/3 innings over his four starts for the Mets in 2024.

New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino teased a no-hitter in Monday's 3-1 loss to the visiting Chicago Cubs, spinning eight innings of one-run ball on one hit and two walks with five strikeouts. Chicago's offense offered little to no resistance up until the late stages of the game, but Dansby Swanson's bloop single in the eighth inning broke up the no-hit bid to spoil a masterful performance out of Severino. It still added to a great start to the campaign for the 30-year-old right-hander, however, who looks revived in the early stages of the year following a strong spring training and now owns a 2.31 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 31:11 K:BB through six regular-season starts (35 innings) for the Mets. Severino will take a ton of momentum into his next scheduled start on Saturday on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays, where he'll remain worth deploying in all mixed fantasy leagues.

New York Mets right-hander Luis Severino allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Severino did not factor into the decision. The 30-year-old had a bases-loaded walk in the second inning for his only earned run of the game. He cruised through the rest of his start and was in the line for the win until the Mets bullpen imploded by allowing five runs in the eighth inning. The former New York Yankee owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 13:2 K: BB across 10 innings in 2024. Severino will look to build on Saturday's solid start in a tough matchup on the road against the Braves on Thursday.

New York Mets starting pitcher Luis Severino tossed five innings of one run ball versus the Washington Nationals in Grapefruit League action on Sunday. He also allowed four hits with one walk and four strikeouts. The 30-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Mets this offseason after being a New York Yankee for the entirety of his career. Severino had a rough go of it in 2023 with injuries and an ugly 6.65 ERA, but he has shown top tier stuff previously and owns a career 3.79 ERA. Severino has struggled with injuries as he hasn't made over 19 starts since 2018, but he has been mostly productive when on the mound. With an ADP of 298, Severino makes for an intriguing late-round target in deeper leagues. He is now 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in four starts this spring with 12 strikeouts in 14 innings.
