Severino (lat) will make his season debut for the Yankees on Sunday in Cincinnati, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino went only 3.1 innings in each of his two rehab starts, maxing out at 58 pitches in his last outing Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. That means he'll surely be on a relatively limited pitch count in his season debut, making him a fairly iffy fantasy option at Great American Ball Park. Still, the Yankees and fantasy managers will be happy to get Severino back -- perhaps for the long haul -- if he can manage to avoid more injuries.

Severino (lat) will throw up to 60 pitches for Double-A Somerset on Tuesday in a rehab start, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino threw 49 pitches in his rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, and he'll get a chance to go a little deeper in this outing. If things go well for Severino on Tuesday, his next start could be made over the weekend against the Reds, but the team will evaluate how things go before making that decision. Assuming there are no setbacks, Severino should be a part of the Yankees' rotation by the end of May.

Severino (lat) may be activated from the IL in time to start Sunday in Cincinnati, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino threw 49 pitches in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last Wednesday, and he's slated to make his next start with the minor-league club Tuesday. The right-hander will likely increase his pitch count to some extent in that outing, and if the appearance goes well, he could be given the go-ahead to make his 2023 MLB debut Sunday against the Reds. Severino would almost certainly have his workload monitored under that scenario, as he didn't see any sort of game action during the entire month of April as he worked his way back from a low-grade lat strain that he suffered near the end of spring training.

Severino (lat) completed 3.1 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

EDGE Analysis

In Severino's first game action this season, he threw 29 of 49 pitches for a strike and gave up just one run on a third-inning solo homer. The right-hander is making his way back from a lat strain that occurred near the end of spring training. Per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, Severino will make another rehab start Tuesday. It's possible that he could join the Yankees rotation after that, though manager Aaron Boone hasn't yet committed to that scenario.

Severino (lat) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino had been hoping to push it to Thursday so he wouldn't have to drive to Scranton on Tuesday for an early morning start Wednesday, but the Yankees appear to have overruled him. The right-hander is aiming to make two rehab starts before rejoining the rotation, although it's possible the club will need him to put in more minor-league work than that before deeming him ready for activation.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Severino (lat) is expected to make a rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

For his part, Severino said he prefers to make his first rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, since Wednesday's contest has an early start time that would require him to stay overnight in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. The Yankees could push Severino back a day to accommodate his wishes, but whether he takes the hill Wednesday or Thursday, it shouldn't ultimately have a dramatic effect on his timeline for making his 2023 MLB debut. Severino threw a three-inning, 40-pitch simulated game this past Friday in Tampa and experienced no ill effects, and he's expected to make at least two rehab starts before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Severino (lat) felt good after throwing a simulated game Friday and will soon make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Aaron Boone said at the start of May that Severino was two or three weeks from returning from the lat strain which has kept him out all season. While a planned rehab start became a simulated game instead, it doesn't appear as though he's significantly behind that schedule. Exactly how many rehab outings he needs will determine whether or not he's able to hit Boone's stated timeline.

Severino (lat) will throw a live batting practice session Friday instead of beginning a rehab assignment, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The plan had been for Severino to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Thursday, but the Yankees have decided they'd rather the pitcher work in a more controlled environment. If everything goes well Friday, he'll then begin a rehab assignment next week. Severino is expected back in mid- to late-May and this news shouldn't change that timetable.

Severino (lat) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Thursday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that he hoped to get Severino back in 2-3 weeks, so expect the right-hander to make at least two and possible three rehab starts. He's been on the shelf all season with a strained right lat muscle.

Manager Aaron Boone said Monday in an interview with the Talkin' Yanks podcast that Severino (lat) will rejoin the Yankees' rotation within the next 2-to-3 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Severino will begin a rehab assignment either Wednesday or Thursday with High-A Tampa. Based on Boone's timetable, the right-hander is expected to make at least two rehab starts before rejoining the big club, assuming Severino experiences no setbacks. Severino has been on the 15-day injured list all season with a strained right lat.
