Cashman also announced that there will be no innings limit for Severino going forward as they have planned for this since the beginning of the season. During his time in the minors this year he averaged just over 5 innings per start, throwing 99 1/3 innings in 19 games. His last start came on July 29 when he struck out a career high 10 batters, throwing 6 innings.
Cashman: Severino will have no innings limit. They prepared early in the season so he would be ready for this.
