Athletics' Luis Severino: Tosses eight strong innings
Rotowire
Severino (1-3) earned the win Saturday in Milwaukee after allowing one run on three hits and no walks across eight innings. He struck out one.
In addition to just a single strikeout, Severino generated only five swinging strikes on 92 total pitches, but he consistently got ahead in the count and efficiently moved through the Brewers lineup. The veteran right-hander snapped a three-start losing streak with the performance, though it's already his third outing of the year allowing one run or fewer. Severino will take a 3.31 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB across 32.2 innings into a favorable matchup versus the White Sox next weekend.

Athletics' Luis Severino: Tough-luck loss Sunday
Rotowire
Severino (0-3) allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out six in 5.2 innings in a loss to the Mets on Sunday.
Severino blanked the Mets through five innings while allowing just two hits. He began the sixth by walking Pete Alonso and was knocked out of the game after an RBI-single by Luis Torrens. Sunday was the first time Severino has not reached six innings in four starts this season, but it was an excellent bounce back performance against his former team after allowing 11 runs (10 earned) in his prior two starts. The 31-year-old owns a 4.01 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB in 24.2 innings and lines up for a road start against the Brewers this week.

Athletics' Luis Severino: Tosses seven frames in defeat
Rotowire
Severino allowed five runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three batters over seven innings in a loss to San Diego on Monday.
Severino got off to a rough start, surrendering three runs in the first inning. He then held the Padres to just one more run over the following five frames, but a Fernando Tatis solo homer in the seventh inning put him behind 5-3 upon his exit rom the game. Severino had trouble missing bats in the outing -- he notched just two whiffs among his 96 pitches -- but he at least continued to eat up innings for the A's, and he's now gone at least six frames in each of his first three starts. However, his record stands at 0-2, and he's given up four homers over 19 frames while posting a 4.74 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.

Athletics' Luis Severino: Hit hard in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Severino (0-1) took the loss to the Cubs on Tuesday, coughing up six runs (five earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.
After an impressive Opening Day debut for the A's, Severino crashed back to earth Tuesday. Three of the six hits against the right-hander went for extra bases, including a three-run blast by Seiya Suzuki in the first inning before Severino had even recorded an out, and a solo shot by the red-hot Kyle Tucker in the third. Severino has given the A's some length, working six innings in each of his first two starts of the year, but he's also issued at least three free passes in each. He'll take a 3.75 ERA and 12:7 K:BB into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Padres.

Athletics' Luis Severino: Six scoreless innings in A's debut
Rotowire
Severino did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three hits and four walks over six scoreless innings against Seattle. He struck out six.
Severino gave a strong performance in his A's debut as his bullpen blew a late lead to cost him the victory. He picked up where he left off with the Mets in 2024 with a bounce-back season, during which he had 3.91 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 31 regular-season starts last year.

Athletics' Luis Severino: Fires six shutout innings
Rotowire
Severino didn't factor in the decision Thursday against Seattle after striking out six and allowing three hits and four walks over six scoreless innings.
The right-hander was a bit wild at times with four free passes and a hit-by-pitch, but he kept the Mariners off the board by scattering the baserunners and not giving up any extra-base hits. Severino missed out on the victory when the A's bullpen was unable to maintain a 1-0 lead, but it was still a strong debut with the team after inking a two-year, $45 million contract in December. He lines up to pitch against the Cubs next week.
The Athletics announced Monday that Severino will start their March 27 season opener versus the Mariners in Seattle, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Severino became the obvious choice to take the hill for the Athletics on Opening Day the moment he signed a three-year, $67 million contract in December, the largest guaranteed deal in franchise history. After injuries limited him to fewer than 20 starts in each of his final five seasons with the Yankees from 2019 through 2023, Severino proved to be durable in his lone campaign with the Mets in 2024, turning in a 3.91 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 31 starts. The Athletics are banking on the 31-year-old Severino avoiding the pitfalls on the health front that plagued him throughout his twenties and emerging as a capable innings eater at the front of the rotation in 2025.
Athletics' Luis Severino: Touched up in second spring start
Rotowire
Severino surrendered two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings during Monday's Cactus League loss to the White Sox.
Severino had a tough time settling in and allowed both runs in the top of the first inning, but he looked sharp in his final two frames of work. This is simply part of the spring training process for the 31-year-old, who inked a three-year, $67 million contract with the Athletics in December to lead the club's starting rotation.
