NEW YORK (AP) — Luis Severino was scratched from his start for the New York Yankees against Tampa Bay on Thursday night and placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

“He’s just on the list now,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Last night he got sick, had a fever and chills and all that. Doing a lot better today but we’ll know (later). I think his original rapid stuff was negative but we’ll have a better idea probably sometime tonight.”

New York said right-hander Clarke Schmidt was to replace Severino as its starting pitcher.

Severino is 4-1 with a 2.80 ERA and the 28-year-old right-hander was to have made his 100th career start in the series finale.

Schmidt, a 26-year-old right-hander, entered 3-2 with a 3.26 ERA in 11 relief appearances, striking out 15 and walking 10 in 19 1/3 innings.

New York selected the contract of right-hander Ryan Weber from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Weber is 4-12 with a 5.28 ERA in seven major league seasons with Boston, Seattle, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Milwaukee, and is 2-2 with a 2.95 ERA this year in four starts and four relief appearances at Scranton.

Left-hander Jalen Beeks (1-1, 1.38) was to open for the Rays in place of Drew Rasmussen, who went on the 15-day injured list because of a strained left hamstring.
