Rodon vs. Severino: Ex-Yankee faces former team
30 May
Summary
- Carlos Rodon starts for Yankees, seeking win streak extension.
- Luis Severino, ex-Yankee, has struggled against his former team.
- Athletics plan to relocate to Las Vegas after 2027 season.
The New York Yankees are set to continue their four-game winning streak as they face the Oakland Athletics in Sacramento. Carlos Rodon is slated to make his fourth start of the season, aiming to capitalize on recent progress following surgery on his left elbow. His last outing showed promise, despite the team's loss.
Rodon will pitch against Luis Severino, a right-hander who previously played for the Yankees. Severino signed a substantial deal with the Athletics and has had a difficult history against his former teammates, with a high earned run average in previous matchups.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is a player to watch, as he has had significant success against Severino in past encounters, including multiple home runs. This matchup is notable as the Athletics are scheduled to relocate to a new ballpark in Las Vegas following the 2027 season, making their current games in Oakland part of a transitional period for the franchise.
