This is a potential nightmare situation for the Yankees. With James Paxton already expected to be out of action until May at the earliest, it sure looks like the Yanks are going to be without their second and third best starters to begin the season.
Not only is Severino apparently dealing with right forearm soreness but he also has a loose body in his elbow according to manager Aaron Boone. This is the second straight spring Sevy has been shut down with an arm issue and the Yankees better hope this injury doesn’t force him to miss the majority of the season like it did in 2019.
