New York Yankees starter Luis Severino, nursing a shoulder injury, is not expected to throw for two weeks, manager Aaron Boone said on Saturday.
Speaking before New York's home game against the Boston Red Sox, Boone updated reporters on his team's pitchers, adding that reliever Miguel Castro, who also has shoulder woes, is in line for an MRI and will not throw for four weeks.
But Severino is of primary concern, as the first-place Yankees, who have slowed from their May and June surges, are struggling a bit headed into the All-Star break.
