The team seems to be taking it easy with their prized right hander. The 50-60 pitch limit he was on Sunday is well short of what would be needed to prepare him for a return to the majors. It is almost certain that he will receive one or two more rehab starts before the Yankees consider bringing him back. Although the elbow pain that forced him out of his last start against the White Sox turned out to be a relatively minor issue, an arm injury to a pitcher as valuable as Severino can never be taken lightly.
