Luis Severino, recovering from Tommy John surgery performed last spring, was already at the point of making rehab starts. Oddly enough, destiny had a Grade 2 groin strain in store for him on June 12, so while we should all be thankful it wasn’t an elbow-related setback, it means he likely won’t be back until mid-to-late July, if things go his way.
Corey Kluber had overcome a dreadful start and was pitching his best ball since 2018. Unfortunately, he suffered a subscapularis muscle strain in his right shoulder in late May, so the expectation is that he will be out of action until late July if there are no setbacks.
