Severino (lat) completed a bullpen session Sunday with no issues, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino recently progressed to mound work and has now thrown three bullpen sessions in the past week. The right-hander should soon progress to facing live hitters, which should be the final step before heading out on a rehab assignment.

Severino (lat) threw a bullpen session Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Aaron Boone said Severino's session went well. The next step for the 29-year-old righty will likely come Monday with a bullpen session and live batting practice. He will likely require a rehab start before returning to the Yankees' rotation, though it's unclear when he might embark on that assignment.

Severino (lat) will throw another bullpen session Thursday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was cleared for more mound work after recovering from Monday's bullpen session with no issues. If Thursday's session goes off without a hitch, Severino could face hitters after that. The right-hander will need at least one rehab start before being activated, and it's not yet clear when that turn might unfold.

Severino (lat) had a successful 22-pitch bullpen session Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino was able to throw all of his pitches, including a splitter that he's been toying around with. Whether he makes the splitter part of his regular repertoire when he returns from the 15-day injured list hasn't been determined, but more important is the fact that Severino is currently pain-free as he works his way back from a low-grade lat strain. He expects to throw another bullpen session within the next few days before potentially advancing to facing hitters over the weekend or early next week.

Severino (lat) had his scheduled bullpen session moved from Sunday to Monday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino was originally scheduled to throw off the mound Sunday, but the move to Monday doesn't appear to be due to any sort of setback. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Severino's "workload was pretty big" when he last threw April 6, per MLB.com, which likely explains the decision to push him back a day. If all goes well in his continued recovery from a right lat strain, Severino could make his 2023 debut in late April or early May.

Severino (lat) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino expanded his flat-ground throwing to 120 feet Thursday and will progress to the mound next. The right-hander is trending in the right direction as he works his way back from a low-grade lat strain, but a potential return date remains somewhat hazy.

Severino (lat) has built up his throwing progression to 90 feet and could throw a bullpen in Baltimore this weekend, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the fourth day of throwing for Severino as he continues to make progress from the low-grade lat strain that has sidelined him since the end of March. He'll likely need to throw a few bullpen sessions first, but the next step could be a rehab assignment in the minors if those go well. Severino is expected to miss a total of 3-to-4 starts and without setback could be back with the Yankees as a member of the rotation before April comes to a conclusion.

Severino (lat) threw Friday and Saturday without issues, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino is still limited to light throwing, but it's a positive that he's already begun throwing in some capacity less than a week after suffering a low-grade lat strain. He hopes to only miss three or four starts, and while the Yankees have yet to confirm that timeline, the fact that he's already throwing seemingly suggests he has a chance.

The Yankees placed Severino (lat) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Severino was diagnosed with a low-grade right lat strain last weekend and later said he expects to miss only three to four starts to begin the season, but the Yankees haven't confirmed any official timeline for the 29-year-old. He's one of three rotation members opening the season on the IL, as the Yankees also deactivated Frankie Montas (shoulder) and Carlos Rodon (forearm) on Thursday.

Severino (lat) said Sunday that he'll resume throwing when pain-free and could miss as few as three or four starts to open the season, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old's initial shutdown period is expected to be about a week, after which it should become clearer whether or not he'll require a lengthier absence. Severino dealt with a similar injury last year that sidelined him for two months, but the right-hander noted that the current injury isn't in the same location as the previous one.
