TAMPA, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino has been shut down from throwing for the second consecutive spring training, this time because of right forearm soreness.
Severino, who turned 26 on Thursday, was sidelined until the final weeks of the regular season last year.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Severino has been feeling on and off discomfort since October.
“That’s certainly concerning,” Boone said. “We’ll just have to continue see how this declares itself.”
