New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (lat) touched 97.3 mph with his fastball on Friday in his first minor league rehab start for Low-A Tampa. Severino threw two scoreless innings and tossed 22 pitches, allowing one hit while striking out three and walking none. The Yankees are hoping he can return to their starting rotation in mid-September and factor into their playoff rotation. The 28-year-old will still need another rehab outing or two before he's ready to be reinstated from the injured list, but he's getting closer. In 16 starts for the Yanks in 2022, he's gone 5-3 with a 3.45 ERA (4.04 FIP), 1.07 WHIP, 95 strikeouts and 25 walks in 86 innings pitched. Time is running out for him to make a fantasy impact down the stretch, though.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (lat) threw a live batting practice session on Sunday at Yankee Stadium, and his next outing will be a minor league rehab start, likely on Friday, Sept. 2. General manager Brian Cashman said that the plan is for Severino to make five regular season starts in September leading into the playoffs. The 28-year-old cut his outing short in the third inning after just two pitches on July 13, saying that he was unable to get loose. Severino is worth stashing in fantasy leagues as long as he hits his timetable for a return next month. In his 16 starts this year, the Dominican right-hander has gone 5-3 with a 3.45 ERA (4.04 FIP), a 1.07 WHIP and a 95:25 K:BB in 86 innings pitched.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (lat) threw a live batting practice session against outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) on Tuesday. Severino tossed 24 pitches during the session, and his fastball sat between 95 and 97 mph. The 28-year-old suffered a low-grade lat strain in his start on July 13, and he was recently moved to the 60-day injured list. There isn't much time left in the 2022 season for him to make much of a fantasy impact, but barring any setbacks, Severino is expected to rejoin New York's starting rotation in the middle of September. Domingo German has stepped into the rotation with Severino sidelined. In 16 starts this year, Severino has gone 5-3 with a 3.45 ERA (4.03 FIP), 1.07 WHIP, 95 strikeouts and 25 walks in 86 innings.

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino (lat) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Monday. Severino was shut down about two weeks ago with a right lat strain and will now not be eligible to return to the roster until mid-September. The 28-year-old hurler has made 16 starts for the Yankees in 2022, posting a 5-3 record, 3.45 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 95 strikeouts over 86 innings of work. Severino threw from flat ground earlier in the day on Monday and the session reportedly went well, at least according to manager Aaron Boone. It is unclear whether he suffered a setback during the session or if the Yankees just want to take it slow with Severino, who had Tommy John surgery back in 2020.

The New York Yankees placed starting pitcher Luis Severino (lat) on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with a low-grade right lat strain. Right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga was reinstated from the 15-day injured list, and right-hander Ryan Weber's contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in corresponding moves. Severino's injury was initially described as shoulder tightness after he left his start early on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. The 28-year-old missed most of last year with a lat injury, so the Yankees will make sure not to rush him back to the rotation for the second half of the season. Fantasy managers should expect him back in early August. Despite giving up four runs on three straight homers on Wednesday, Severino still has a 3.45 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 95 K's in 86 innings over 16 starts in 2022.

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino (shoulder) is "likely" to go on the injured list, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone. However, when giving this update to the press, Boone also stated that the team is still assessing the MRI results on Severino's shoulder. The 28-year-old was removed from his start on Wednesday with what has been diagnosed as right shoulder tightness. He's in the midst of a fantastic revival season that's seen him go 5-3 with a 3.45 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP over 16 starts. The timing of the upcoming All-Star break is certainly ideal for Severino. We'll see if the break can be utilized in a way that he barely misses any season action even if he does land on the injured list.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) said he still feels discomfort in his right shoulder and is waiting for his MRI results after being forced from his start early on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Severino doesn't think his injury is overly serious, but he's unsure if he'll be able to avoid a stint on the injured list. The good news is that the All-Star break next week will give the 28-year-old a break and could allow him to avoid a trip to the IL. He allowed three straight home runs and four total runs before exiting on Wednesday, but he still has a solid 3.45 ERA and 1.07 WHIP on the year with 95 strikeouts in 86 innings over his 16 starts. We'll bring you Severino's MRI results when they become available.

Severino had everything working, generating multiple whiffs on each of his 4-seam, slider, changeup, and cutter. He posted a 34% CSW% and generated an astounding 20 whiffs on 92 pitches.

After missing all of 2020 and most of 2021, the two-time All-Star has reemerged as a reliable, high-end fantasy starter. Buoyed by a strong Yankees lineup and bullpen, the 28-year-old slots in as a strong second option behind a true ace in most formats. Severino is currently slated to continue his solid start against a favorable matchup versus the Detroit Tigers at home on Saturday.

Severino pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with eight strikeouts. The 28-year-old hasn't pitched a full season since 2018 but has looked good so far overall. Severino is now 2-0 with a 4.08 ERA, 31 strikeouts, and nine walks over his first six starts and 28 2/3 IP. His next start will be a favorable one against the Orioles at home.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino has logged a strong 2.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 14 strikeouts across his first 13 innings of work to start the 2022 season. The two-time All-Star has posted back-to-back starts of five innings while only serving up one earned across both outings, including holding the potent Toronto Blue Jays scoreless. The 28-year-old's return to form has been a welcomed sight as he hasn't found a clean bill of health since 2018. The Bronx right-hander will look to build on the positive momentum on Tuesday with a favorable matchup against the Baltimore Orioles.

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Severino will be capped at 65-70 pitches for Saturday's start against the Boston Red Sox. He dealt with arm soreness during Spring Training and will need to ramp up his activity before he can handle a full workload during the regular season. New York hopes Severino can make it up to 75 pitches and will turn things over to the bullpen. The 28-year-old will start Saturday's game but is a risky play due to the pitch count and tough matchup against a high-powered Red Sox offense.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (arm) said he felt good throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday and plans to be on the mound on Saturday in a spring training game against the Atlanta Braves. Severino is expecting to throw 40 or more pitches in his Grapefruit League start, which will be his final tune-up before the regular season. The 28-year-old right-hander reported right arm soreness earlier this week, and although it appears to be a minor issues, most fantasy managers are holding their breathe given Severino's history with arm injuries in the past. He could have his innings capped early in the season, but as long as he gets through Saturday's outing without setbacks, he should open the year in the Yankees rotation.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino is dealing with general arm soreness, according to manager Aaron Boone. Severino will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday instead of his scheduled Grapefruit League start. The right-hander's next spring start will be pushed back to Saturday against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old hopefully will be able to work through it, but it's something worth watching for a pitcher like Severino with a history of arm issues. Since the start of the 2019 season, Severino has thrown only 18 innings in the big leagues due to injuries, making him a high-risk, high-reward fantasy starter on draft day.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino is expected to be ready to participate in Spring Training whenever the team reports to camp, according to Andy Martino. Severino has begun throwing bullpens already as well. Severino has been plagued by injuries for much of the previous two seasons as he has only thrown a combined 18 innings over that span, but if he is healthy, he could provide a major shot in the arm for the Yankees and fantasy manager's rotations.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino pitched well in his first appearance of the 2021 season Tuesday against the Rangers. Severino entered the game in the eighth inning and helped lock down the Yankee victory, striking out a pair of batters while allowing just two hits. His fastball velocity was down a tick, but his stuff was impressive, as he generated five whiffs, three of them on the heater. The 27-year-old will likely operate as a long reliever out of the bullpen down the stretch, though manager Aaron Boone said that he's "not going to limit what Severino is capable of." He should still be able to provide solid ratios and strikeout numbers, even if he's not starting.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder, groin) is likely to be activated from the injured list in the next few days, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone. The 27-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since the 2019 ALCS. He underwent Tommy John surgery after the 2019 postseason and he has been working his way back ever since with multiple obstacles along the way, including a groin injury he suffered this year. The Yankees haven't made it clear how exactly Severino will be utilized upon joining the team. He will either be used as an opener or he'll pitch out of the bullpen. Either way, he isn't someone worth targeting in redraft leagues for the final weeks of the year as the team will certainly keep his pitch count down.
