The New York Yankees could a few weeks away from getting back one of their most talented arms. Right-handed pitcher Luis Severino, who is currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery performed in the spring of 2020, threw a successful simulated game yesterday, and the reports were absolutely glowing.
Greg Joyce of the New York Post reported that Sevy hit 97 miles per hour on the sim game, which is pretty much his average velocity when he is healthy and in form. That is fantastic news for a Yankees team that can use a steady replacement for injured starter Corey Kluber, who is out for at least a couple of months with a shoulder injury.
