Severino also tossed a 25-pitch bullpen session Sunday and reported feeling good about the results. The 25-year-old will head to the Yankees' spring-training facility in Tampa and gear up for a minor-league rehab stint as soon as next weekend. Severino remains hopeful of returning to the Yankees in September, possibly in a relief role. Severino has yet to pitch this season as he recovers from a lat strain suffered in spring training.
