Yankees' Luis Severino to Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Yankees pitcher Luis Severino will have Tommy John surgery after dealing with forearm soreness last week, general manager Brian Cashman announced Tuesday.

Cashman said two doctors confirmed Severino should have the surgery, and the right-hander agreed to have the operation as soon as possible. Severino's next move is to decide when to have the surgery and to choose which doctor will perform it.

New York sent Severino to have a battery of tests after he started experiencing forearm soreness again last week. Severino flew to New York on Sunday to start three days of tests at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.
