Yankees starter Luis Severino likely to miss start of regular season due to lat strain

The 2023 MLB regular season didn't come fast enough for the New York Yankees. The team announced Saturday its third starting pitcher injury of the spring, as manager Aaron Boone revealed Luis Severino would miss his next spring start due to a right lat injury.

The injury will likely result in a stint on the Injured List for Severino, meaning he would miss the start of the regular season.

Luis Severino has a low-grade right lat strain and is expected to begin the season on the IL, Aaron Boone said. Clarke Schmidt is in line to start the #Yankees’ second game of the season.
