TAMPA, Fla.—Minutes before Luis Severino was expected to take the ball for his spring debut, the Yankees right-hander was scratched from Tuesday’s scheduled start against the Braves due to what the club said was right shoulder discomfort.
The 25-year-old is scheduled to undergo further evaluation and examination. It was to be Severino’s first game action since signing a four-year, $40 million contract extension on Feb. 15, though he did face Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sánchez in a 39-pitch simulated game on Thursday.
