• Athletics' Luis Severino: Secures Opening Day start

  Rotowire Mar 19, 2026

  Severino will start the Athletics' March 27 season opener versus the Blue Jays in Toronto, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. This will be Severino's second consecutive Opening Day start and his third overall. The 32-year-old is coming off the worst season of his MLB career (20-start minimum) as he had a 4.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 124:50 K:BB over 162.2 innings last year. The two-time All-Star has not been able to recapture the stretch he had from 2017 to 2022, when he had a 3.10 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Since then, the right-hander has had a 4.71 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across the past three seasons.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Scoreless outing in spring debut

  Rotowire Feb 23, 2026

  Severino allowed a hit and a walk across two scoreless innings in Sunday's Cactus League loss to the Guardians. He struck out three. Severino made his spring debut Sunday and delivered a solid outing, striking out three Guardians while touching 97.8 mph on his fastball across two scoreless frames. The right-hander will aim to improve in 2026 after posting a 4.54 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with a career-low 6.9 K/9 over 29 starts and 162.2 innings in his first season with the Athletics last year.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Shines in final start

  Rotowire Sep 25, 2025

  Severino (8-11) earned the win over Houston on Wednesday, allowing three hits and issuing one walk while striking out five batters over 6.1 scoreless innings. Things haven't always been smooth for Severino in his first season with the A's, but in the likely case that this was his final appearance of the campaign, he went out on a high note. The veteran righty limited the Astros to four baserunners -- two of which reached in the first inning -- and at one point retired 10 consecutive batters before giving up a double on his final pitch of the night. Severino improved his record to 8-11 after it sat at 2-11 entering the All-Star break. If this was indeed his final outing, he'll finish 2025 with a 4.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 124:50 K:BB over 162.2 frames spanning 29 starts.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Settles in for seventh win

  Rotowire Sep 20, 2025

  Severino (7-11) picked up the win in Friday's 4-3 victory over the Pirates, giving up three runs (one earned) on seven hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out three. The right-hander looked like he was headed for another rough outing when Pittsburgh ambushed him for three runs in the first inning and then banged out two hits in the second, but Severino kept his focus and avoided any further damage before being lifted after 97 pitches (64 strikes). Despite getting tagged for three or more runs in three of four September starts, Severino still hasn't taken a loss since the All-Star break. On the month, he's posted a 4.05 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 20 innings. He'll look to play spoiler in the race for the AL West title in his final trip to the mound this season, which lines up to come at home next week against the Astros.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Yields five runs

  Rotowire Sep 14, 2025

  Severino allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Saturday. All of the runs on his line came on a pair of home runs, as Will Benson hit a two-run shot in the second inning and Tyler Stephenson added a three-run blast in the fourth. Severino has now allowed eight runs with a 13:4 K:BB over five innings since returning from an oblique injury. He's at a 4.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 116:48 K:BB through 151.1 innings across 27 starts this season. The 31-year-old's next start is projected to be a favorable road matchup in Pittsburgh.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Strikes out seven in no-decision

  Rotowire Sep 7, 2025

  Severino allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Sunday. Severino fell behind early, allowing a two-run home run to Jo Adell in the first inning. The Athletics were able to briefly tie the game after Severino's exit to help him avoid the loss. The right-hander has covered five frames in each of his two starts since returning from an oblique injury, though his pitch count was in the normal range (89) in this outing. Through 146.1 innings this season, he has a 4.67 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 114:46 K:BB across 26 starts. Severino is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Reds.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Returns from injured list

  Rotowire Sep 1, 2025

  The Athletics activated Severino (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Monday. Severino is set to rejoin the rotation Tuesday with a start in St. Louis after missing more than three weeks with an oblique strain. The veteran right-hander didn't make a rehab start, instead throwing a simulated game last week. It's unclear how many pitches Severino threw in that sim game, but he'll likely be under a workload restriction against the Cardinals.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Making return Tuesday

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2025

  Severino (oblique) is scheduled to return from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Cardinals in St. Louis, Jason Burke of SI.com reports. The right-hander has been sidelined over three weeks due to an oblique strain, and he'll rejoin the Athletics rotation without a rehab assignment. Following the layoff, Severino could face some workload limitations in his first couple outings back in the majors. The right-hander was in strong form prior to the injury with a 3.13 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over his last four starts.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Expected to return for road trip

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2025

  Severino (oblique) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list during the Athletics' road trip that begins Monday in St. Louis, MLB.com reports. Severino has been on the shelf since Aug. 9 due to a left oblique strain, but his return appears close, and he seemingly won't require a rehab assignment prior to being activated. The right-hander was in strong form before landing on the shelf, posting a 2.93 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 27.2 innings in his five most recent starts.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Playing catch, lacks timeline

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2025

  Severino resumed playing catch Aug. 12, but the Athletics haven't provided any further updates regarding where he stands in his recovery from a left oblique strain, MLB.com reports. Severino was placed on the shelf Aug. 9 due to the injury, but he didn't face a prolonged no-throw period before he began playing catch. That said, the Athletics haven't indicated that Severino has resumed throwing off a mound at this point, making it difficult to project when he might be ready to return from the 15-day injured list. Luis Morales settled into Severino's spot in the rotation earlier this month and will make his fourth consecutive start Wednesday versus Detroit.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Team encouraged by test results

  Rotowire Aug 12, 2025

  Manager Mark Kotsay said Monday that the Athletics received better news on Severino's left oblique strain than initially anticipated after the right-hander was evaluated in West Sacramento, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports. Severino was unexpectedly placed on the injured list over the weekend, prompting the Athletics to turn to rookie Luis Morales to make a start in his stead in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles. Though Kotsay didn't go into specifics regarding the Athletics' findings on Severino's medical tests, the right-hander appears to have at least avoided a high-grade oblique strain, which most likely would have ended his season. Severino still appears unlikely to return from the IL when first eligible Aug. 21, but a return before the end of the month can't entirely be ruled out.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Lands on IL

  Rotowire Aug 9, 2025

  The Athletics placed Severino on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain. Severino gave up three earned runs over six innings Tuesday en route to securing his fourth consecutive win, but he appears to have come away from his last start with oblique problems. He'll now miss at least two turns through the rotation, and the A's will promote Hogan Harris from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Picks up another win

  Rotowire Aug 6, 2025

  Severino (6-11) earned the win Tuesday over the Nationals, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five in six innings. Severino reeled off his fourth straight win after he picked up just one win over eight starts from June 2 through July 11. He tossed three scoreless and was already staked a nine-run lead in the fourth by the time the Nationals finally pushed a run across. Severino has reached six innings in two of his past three starts after doing so only one time in nine starts prior. He lines up to complete a strong two-start week on the road this weekend against the Orioles.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Wins third straight start

  Rotowire Jul 30, 2025

  Severino (5-11) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Tuesday. Severino had won his last two starts on the road and brought that success back home for this outing. Over this three-start winning streak, he's allowed five runs on 12 hits and four walks while racking up 17 strikeouts over 17 innings. He's been fairly good against the Mariners this year as well, allowing five runs over 18 innings against the division rival. Overall, he still has a shaky 4.83 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 98:42 K:BB through 130.1 innings over 23 starts, but he's trending in the right direction. Severino is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Nationals.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Success continues on road

  Rotowire Jul 25, 2025

  Severino (4-11) earned the win Thursday in Houston after striking out eight and giving up two runs on four hits and no walks over seven innings. It's the second straight victory for Severino, who has allowed five earned runs with a 19:4 K:BB across his past three outings. Severino's 4.95 ERA through 22 starts this season isn't pretty, but he still has some streaming appeal since he's pitched to a 3.03 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 59.1 innings on the road.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Gets back into win column

  Rotowire Jul 20, 2025

  Severino (3-11) earned the win over Cleveland on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings. Severino gave up a two-run homer to Jose Ramirez in the third inning, but those were the only runs the Guardians could muster against him. The veteran right-hander got enough run support to snap a five-game losing streak, and this was a promising performance after he logged a 7.94 ERA during the skid. Severino is still tough to roster in fantasy with a 5.10 ERA and mediocre 6.4 K/9 on the campaign, while a projected matchup in Houston his next time out won't make the veteran hurler a good streaming option.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Skid continues Friday

  Rotowire Jul 12, 2025

  Severino (2-11) allowed five runs (one earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Blue Jays on Friday. Severino was cruising until he gave up a run in the fourth inning. He found more trouble in the fifth, which ultimately led to his exit from the game and his fifth consecutive loss. He's fallen short of completing five innings in each of his last three starts, and he's given up at least five runs in six of his last eight outings, though it wasn't all his fault when things fell apart Friday. Severino now has a 5.16 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 81:38 K:BB through 113.1 innings across 20 starts this season. The Athletics don't have the depth nor the competitive need to replace the veteran in their rotation, so expect him to continue starting every fifth game in the second half.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Labors again Saturday

  Rotowire Jul 6, 2025

  Severino (2-10) took the loss Saturday against the Giants, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two. It's the fifth straight loss for Severino, and in the last three of those starts he's surrendered 17 earned runs, including five homers. The veteran right-hander has given up three runs or fewer in 10 of his 19 outings this season, but he's also allowed five-plus runs eight times. He has a 5.30 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 73:36 K:BB across 108.2 innings and lines up to take the mound next weekend versus the Blue Jays.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Struggles vs. Yankees

  Rotowire Jun 29, 2025

  Severino (2-9) took the loss Sunday against the Yankees, allowing seven runs (six earned) on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three. It was another rough outing for Severino, who's lost five of his last six starts while struggling to a 7.99 ERA in that span (32.2 innings). Overall, the right-hander sports a 5.18 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and 71:34 K:BB across 18 starts (104.1 innings) this season. Severino will look to right the ship in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week against the Giants.

• Athletics' Luis Severino: Mauled by Tigers

  Rotowire Jun 25, 2025

  Severino (2-8) took the loss Tuesday as the A's were routed 11-4 by the Tigers, surrendering seven runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two. The ball was flying out of Comerica Park after a two-hour rain delay, as both Severino and Tarik Skubal served up two homers each in the first three innings, but the A's right-hander came away with the worst of it. It's the third time in five June starts he's been tagged for five runs or more, and on the month Severino carried a ghastly 7.14 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB through 29 innings. Things won't get any easier for him in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend against his former club, the Yankees.
