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.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Severino (elbow/groin) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

After completing a simulated game Thursday without issue, Severino received the green light to move on the final phase of his rehab from Tommy John surgery and a Grade 2 groin strain, the latter of which resulted in him being pulled off his initial rehab assignment in mid-June. The Yankees haven't announced which affiliate Severino will join or what kind of workload he'll handle Tuesday, but he'll most likely be eased in with a light pitch count as he begins the ramp-up process. Severino is expected to stretch out for starting duty, and he could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2021 debut for the Yankees in mid-August.

Severino (elbow) will throw a simulated game Thursday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino was initially slated to resume his rehab assignment Thursday, but the game was up in the air due to a rainy forecast. The simulated game should allow the right-hander to pitch in a more controlled setting, and it will mark his fourth live session since mid-June. Assuming all goes well Thursday, Severino's next appearance could be in a rehab game.

Severino (elbow) tossed another live batting practice session Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It marked Severino's third live session since the right-hander's rehab assignment was paused because of a right groin strain. It seems possible that his next step will be to resume his rehab stint, though the Yankees could opt to have him throw another simulated game first. Once he's sent on a rehab assignment, the plan is for the 27-year-old to get stretched out to be able to throw five or six innings. With that in mind, he remains on track for a mid-to-late August return.

Severino (elbow) tossed two simulated innings and totaled 38 pitches at Fenway Park on Saturday, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Severino appears to be closing in on a minor-league rehab assignment, though it's not yet clear whether the Yankees will ask him to toss another simulated game first. Once he does start pitching in games, the Yankees plan to have him build up to five or six innings before they consider bringing him back up to the big-league roster.

Severino (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session this weekend and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment by the middle of next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino emerged from Sunday's 30-pitch live batting practice session without incident and completed a bullpen session Thursday as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander was expected to return from the injured list earlier in the season, but a Grade 2 groin strain suffered in mid-June resulted in a brief shutdown that pushed back the timeline for his 2021 debut. At this point, Severino is in the process of ramping up again, and he'll likely need at least three rehab outings in the minors to build up his pitch count for starting duty. He could be ready to pitch for the Yankees at some point in mid-to-late August.
