The Yankees have yet another injured pitcher ahead of Opening Day. Joel Sherman of the Post reports that Luis Severino will miss his final spring start and first start of the regular season with a lat strain.
Boone said Severino has a low grade lat injury. Called a strain. “Jeopardy” to make first start.
