New York Yankees starter Luis Severino has been cleared by doctors to begin his third rehab throwing assignment as he works his way back from a lat injury. He suffered this ailment while rehabbing his shoulder injury that has held him out of action since spring training. There is no firm timetable for his return to the Yankees roster, but it will be at least six weeks until he gets stretched out enough to return as a starter. It remains to be seen how they will utilize their ace from a season a[...]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (lat) will be re-examined on Saturday in hopes of resuming his throwing program, but general manager Brian Cashman said that he expects Severino to need "six or more" weeks before returning. There's also a chance that the right-hander is used as a 75-pitch starter or even used out of the bullpen when he makes his season debut. Those that invested a high pick on Severino have been sorely disappointed in 2019, as he has yet to even throw a pitch. Th[...]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (lat) hasn't thrown off a mound yet. Manager Aaron Boone said that Severino's lat is 90 percent healed after undergoing another MRI exam, but he won't throw until he's at 100 percent. The Yankees are playing it very cautious so that the right-hander won't have another setback. Severino was the team's ace and was a fantasy ace in 2018, which has made it even more disappointing that he hasn't made a single start for the Bombers in 2019. There remain[...]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) increased his throwing to 105 feet on Tuesday and hopes to throw off a mound soon. Severino is targeting June 25 or June 26 to throw off a mound for the first time since his injury. The next steps will be to graduate to simulated games and rehab starts. The projected timeline for Severino's return is in July. If Severino is available, now is the time to pick him up, as it seems a return is around a month away. If healthy, Severino has ac[...]

Even beset by injuries on all fronts, including to core-performers Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Luis Severino,the New York Yankees have managed to stay on top in the American League East. But it's just by one-half game over Tampa Bay - not to mention that they've lost eight of their last 13 games. In order to continue to hold off the Rays, as well as third-place defending champs Boston, the Yankees would need to make some upgrades to their roster, even with Judge and Stanton due to rejoin[...]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) was tossing from 60 feet on Tuesday. Severino has yet to pitch in 2019 and won't return to the Yankees rotation until after the All-Star break. But the 25-year-old should be stashed in all formats after he went 19-8 with a 3.39 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 in 32 starts in 2018. When he's healthy, this right-hander has ace potential, both in real life and in fantasy.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) made 50 throws at 60 feet on Monday and is encouraged by his progress. The next step will be for him to throw on back-to-back days. Severino is hoping to return shortly after the All-Star break. The hard-throwing right-hander had a breakout season in 2018 and was both a fantasy and real-life ace, so he needs to be held onto in all formats until he returns sometime in July.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) is playing catch before the game on Friday. Severino has yet to pitch for the Yankees this year and will not be back before the All-Star break. He was an All-Star for the second straight season in 2018 when he went 19-8 with a 3.39 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 in 32 starts, though, so he needs to be held in all fantasy formats for the second half of the season. He'll be brought along slowly with his throwing program.
