Severino will make his season debut Friday against the Tigers, Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network reports.
The Friday start lines up Severino to occupy the fourth spot of the rotation, beating out both CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova. The 22-year-old was terrific after earning a midseason call-up last year, working to a 2.89 ERA with 8.1 K/9, and doesn't figure to be on any sort of innings limit entering his first full season in the big leagues.
