On Tuesday, the New York Yankees Opening Day hopes and dreams came crashing down to Earth with a massive thud.
Ace righty Luis Severino found himself suddenly scratched. Shortly after, it was revealed that it was directly tied to shoulder inflammation that’ll most likely keep him out for Opening Day.
It’s currently projected out as a two-week shelf stint.
Luis Severino’s MRI showed rotator cuff inflammation. He will be shut down for two weeks, receive an injection and anti-inflammatories, then resume his throwing program.
