Severino (shoulder) has been cleared to resume his throwing program, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander recently met with Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who gave the thumbs up for Severino to begin throwing again. He had been shut down since Aug. 13 after experiencing tightness in his shoulder. Severino was in the midst of a rehab assignment prior to his latest setback, so he should resume throwing in minor-league games in the near future. It's unclear when he might be able to rejoin the big club or what his role will be when he returns.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Severino was cleared of any structural damage to his right shoulder after receiving a second medical opinion, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. Severino will be shut down from throwing for the next week before the Yankees re-evaluate him.

EDGE Analysis

Severino hasn't made an appearance for the Yankees since the 2019 postseason after undergoing Tommy John surgery in February 2020, but the health of his right elbow no longer appears to be a concern. The right-hander previously had a minor-league rehab assignment halted in mid-June when he incurred a Grade 2 groin strain, and after restarting his rehab assignment earlier this month, he made just two appearances for Double-A Somerset before experiencing tightness in his right shoulder. While he was fortunate to avoid any major damage to the shoulder, Severino's uncertain timeline to resume throwing could make it a challenge for him to make it back to the Yankees before the end of the season. If Severino does get activated from the 60-day injured list, he may have to work out of the bullpen, given the lack of time he'll have to build up his pitch count for starting duties.

Severino (elbow/groin) is still waiting on a second opinion on his right shoulder but will not throw for the remainder of the week, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino suffered a setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery last week and was scratched from a scheduled rehab start after his shoulder didn't feel right. He underwent an MRI, which the Yankees sent out for a second opinion Monday. That opinion is expected to come in the next day or two, at which point Severino's next steps should become clearer.

Severino (elbow/groin) will receive a second opinion on his right shoulder in the coming days, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino underwent an MRI on Monday, but the Yankees haven't revealed the results. However, the right-hander wants to get insight from Dr. Neal ElAttrache before determining the next step in his recovery process. Severino had his rehab assignment paused after he was scratched from Friday's rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and a better idea of his status will likely be known once he receives his second opinion.

Severino (elbow/groin) will visit a doctor Monday to get his tight shoulder checked out. He will undergo an MRI, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino has experienced multiple setbacks as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent in February of last year. His rehab was first paused in June due to a groin strain and hit another snag Friday, as he was scratched due to tightness in his shoulder. The Yankees are framing the latest pause as precautionary, but it's hard not to worry about a shoulder issue for a pitcher. Clarity on his return timeline should emerge following Monday's visit.

Severino (groin/elbow) will return to New York to be evaluated after he was scratched from Friday's rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Triple-A manager Doug Davis said that Severino "didn't feel right" while warming up Friday, so the team held him out as a precaution. While Davis is optimistic that the right-hander isn't dealing with a serious issue, more clarity regarding his status will likely be revealed once he meets with team doctors.

Severino (groin/elbow) was scratched from his rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday due to an injury, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The weather ahead of Friday's minor-league contest looked questionable, so the reason for Severino's scratch wasn't initially known. However, the right-hander told the team that something didn't feel right while he was warming up, so he was shut down. Triple-A manager Doug Davis didn't know what injury led to Severino being scratched, and it's not yet clear what impact the issue will have on his return timetable.

Severino (groin/elbow) will make another rehab start Friday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino struck out five in four scoreless innings during Sunday's rehab start, and manager Aaron Boone said the right-hander will use Friday's appearance to build up more. Boone said that the team hasn't ruled out reinstating the 27-year-old from the injured list after Friday's outing.

Severino (groin/elbow) is scheduled to make the second start of his minor-league rehab assignment at High-A Hudson Valley on Sunday, Justin Shackil of WFAN Sports Radio New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino will return to the mound on the typical four days' rest after he restarted his rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Somerset. He covered 2.1 innings and tossed 43 pitches (28 strikes) in the outing, giving up two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out four. After Sunday's rehab start, Severino is expected to require one or two more outings in the minors before he gets clearance to make his 2021 debut with the big club, likely in late August or early September.

Severino (elbow/groin) will report to Double-A Somerset on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees are planning on Severino tossing 40-to-50 pitches in the rehab outing, his first game action since June 12. While ramping up following his February 2020 Tommy John surgery, Severino suffered a Grade 2 right groin strain, and his recovery from that injury looks to be the greater concern at this juncture. The Yankees are seemingly preparing to bring Severino back from the 60-day injured list as a starter, so he may require two or three additional rehab starts beyond Tuesday before making his return from the IL. General manager Brian Cashman estimated Sunday that Severino will likely rejoin the Yankees at some point between Aug. 20 and Sept. 1, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
