Luis Severino set for tests after leaving with left side injury

NEW YORK -- Yankees pitcher Luis Severino left Friday night's start against Milwaukee in the fifth inning because of a left side injury, the team announced.

Severino will undergo diagnostic testing Saturday.

After allowing a leadoff single to Brice Turang on a 92 mph fastball, Severino dropped his glove in front of the mound, doubled over in pain and walked around the mound. He was holding his left side near his oblique and replaced by Jhony Brito after being checked out by an athletic trainer and manager Aaron Boone.
