Gerritt Cole can’t do it alone.

Following the devastating news that former ace Luis Severino will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the entire 2020 season — this, coming after it was announced that James Paxton will miss the start of the season because of back surgery — the Yankees will begin their chase for a long-awaited 28th World Series title without two starters expected to anchor the rotation.

Who can fill their spots?

Here’s a list of candidates:

Jordan Montgomery: The 27-year-old, 6-foot-6 southpaw had a strong 2017 rookie season, going 9-7 with a 3.88 ERA, but arm injuries — including Tommy John surgery — have limited him to seven starts the past two seasons.

Mike King: The 24-year-old, former 12th-round pick of the Marlins has pitched a total of two innings in the majors, coming in relief with the Yankees on Sept. 27. Acquired in a 2017 trade with Miami, the sinkerballer advanced from Class-A to Triple-A in less than two full seasons with the organization. He was sidelined for four months last season with an arm injury.

Luis Cessa: The right-hander has made a total of 86 appearances — including 19 starts — since making the Yankees’ 2016 Opening Day roster. The 27-year-old made all 43 appearances in relief last season, posting a career-best 4.11 ERA. Cessa has a career 4.50 ERA.

Jonathan Loaisiga: Just the 15th-ever Nicaraguan born player in the majors, Loaisiga jumped to the majors from Double-A in 2018 and has since made 24 appearances with the Yankees, including eight starts. The 25-year-old has a career 4.79 ERA.

Deivi Garcia: The acclaimed 20-year-old prospect from the Dominican Republic, who has evoked comparisons to Pedro Martinez, appeared in Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A last season, posting a combined 4.28 ERA, while recording 165 strikeouts in 111.1 innings. The 5-foot-9 right-hander also appeared in last year’s All-Star Futures Game.
