Prior to the Yankees bullpen blowing a 3-1 lead on Monday night, culminating in a 4-3 loss to the Astros, news broke that Luis Severino had suffered a setback in his recovery from a strained right rotator cuff.
While it’s too early to speculate as to the extent of Sevy’s predicament, the 25-year-old has yet to throw off a mound since sustaining the injury on March 5.
Following Monday’s abbreviated session at the Yanks’ minor league facility in Tampa, FLA, manager Aaron Boone reported that Severino “didn’t feel great,” and was heading back to New York to be evaluated by the club’s head doctor, Christopher Ahmad.
