Severino (lat) threw 40 pitches over three up-and-down sessions Friday in a live session before the Yankees' game against the Rangers, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino continues to make strong progress from his lat strain, and he increased his workload slightly after participating in two sessions Monday. The right-hander is trending towards a rehab assignment, but nothing has been scheduled yet. It's likely Severino rejoins the Yankees in the middle of May if he has no setbacks.
