Today was supposed to be another jump for Luis Severino’s recovery from Tommy John surgery, his second rehab start down in the minors and his first in Hudson Valley after beginning this process a week ago down in Tampa. It didn’t go as planned, however, as Severino had to exit the game in the second inning due to an injury.
Severino appeared to catch his leg awkwardly on the mound during his delivery, and the end result was that members of the training staff had to assist Severino off the field. Severino was grabbing downward on the pitch almost immediately, towards what looks like his groin, so the injury could be to either area — we’ll have to wait on an update from the team to know more about the problem.
