The Mets released Severino on Saturday to allow him to pursue an opportunity in Japan, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Severino will move to Nippon Professional Baseball after turning in an impressive 1.31 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 20.2 innings at Triple-A Syracuse. If he continues to find success overseas, he could eventually draw interest from MLB clubs and return stateside on a big-league deal.

Rotowire
The Mets designated Severino for assignment Saturday.
The Mets added the 31-year-old southpaw to the 40-man roster May 19, but he'll now lose his spot in favor of Cionel Perez without ever receiving a promotion to the majors. Severino has been extremely effective at Triple-A Syracuse this season, posting a 1.31 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 20.2 innings, making it possible that another team will claim him off waivers.

Mets' Anderson Severino: Optioned after contract selected
Rotowire
The Mets selected Severino's contract from Triple-A Syracuse and optioned him to Syracuse on Tuesday.
Severino likely had an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract, and the Mets have added him to the 40-man roster to prevent him from exercising it. He's posted a 1.04 ERA and 18:8 K:BB over 17.1 innings with Syracuse this season and could get a look the next time the Mets need a left-handed reliever.

White Sox's Anderson Severino: Demoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Severino to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Severino and utility infielder Danny Mendick were sent to the minors with the White Sox needing to reduce their active roster from 28 to 26 players ahead of Monday's deadline. Following his April 12 promotion from Charlotte, Severino made six appearances out of the Chicago bullpen, striking out nine over 7.1 innings while giving up five runs on seven hits and four walks.

White Sox's Anderson Severino: Called up to bigs
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Severino from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
With starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (abdomen) and outfielder AJ Pollock (hamstring) moving to the injured list, the White Sox have opted to replace them on the 28-man active roster with a righty and lefty reliever in Jimmy Lambert and Severino, respectively. Severino, who has yet to appear in the big leagues, narrowly missed out on a spot in Chicago's Opening Day bullpen. He didn't allow any home runs in the minors last season and racked up 53 strikeouts across 45.2 innings between Triple-A and Double-A Birmingham, but a 16.5 percent walk rate likely took him out of the mix for a promotion to the big leagues in 2021. Expect him to work in low-leverage spots for the White Sox initially.

White Sox's Anderson Severino: Sent to minors
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Severino to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
The 27-year-old lefty's demotion likely puts Bennett Sousa in good position to clinch the final spot in the White Sox's Opening Day bullpen. Severino, meanwhile, will bide his time at Charlotte, where he dominated over 13 appearances following his late-season promotion from Double-A Birmingham. Across 14 innings at the Triple-A level, Severino allowed one earned run on nine hits and seven walks while striking out 20.
