Severino (lat) will begin a rehab assignment either Wednesday or Thursday for High-A Tampa, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino will likely need to make multiple rehab starts before returning to the Yankees' rotation, as he's missed all of the 2023 campaign while recovering from a lat strain. If everything goes well in his minor-league outings, the right-hander could be a member of the Yankees' rotation around the middle of May.

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.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Severino (lat) threw two up and downs for the Yankees on Monday and will throw again Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino continues to make strong progress from the lat strain that has sidelined him for the first three-plus weeks of the regular season. The right-hander will make another throwing appearance over the weekend, and it sounds like if things go right he'll have a chance to begin a rehab assignment. At this point it seems likely that Severino will be able to make starts for the Yankees in the middle of May if there are no setbacks in his rehab.

Severino (lat) is scheduled to throw one more live batting practice session before possibly starting a rehab assignment, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino had a successful split bullpen Thursday, throwing 15 pitches in the bullpen and another 20 in live batting practice. He's now headed to the Yankees' spring training complex to continue his rehab and could conceivably be ready for a rehab assignment at some point next week.

Severino (lat) will throw live batting practice Thursday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be his first time facing hitters since he was diagnosed with a lat strain in late March. A rehab assignment for Severino should be just around the corner. The right-hander figures to need multiple rehab starts before rejoining the Yankees' rotation but could conceivably be back by early May.

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.
