Severino (lat) threw 23 pitches off a mound Friday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino threw primarily fastballs in the brief session but also mixed in some changeups and sliders. It was his first time throwing off a mound since March. Assuming his rehab goes well, Severino could make his return to the majors sometime in September.

Severino (lat) is expected to throw of a mound Friday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino has been ramping up his throwing program and will have one more long toss session prior getting back on a mound Friday. He'll still have time to return, likely in a bullpen role, at least initially, as long as his recovery continues without further setbacks.

Severino (lat) is tentatively scheduled to throw off a mound next Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino resumed throwing after the All-Star break and has since been building up his arm strength before returning to mound work. The 25-year-old has no official timeline for his return and could work out of the bullpen once he rejoins the Yankees.

Severino (lat) is nearly ready to throw off a mound, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino has resumed throwing for just over two weeks following a brief shutdown period in late June. He still has time to rejoin the Yankees by the end of the season, though he's likely to work out of the bullpen at first as he builds up his pitch count.

Severino (lat) said Wednesday that he hopes to rejoin the Yankees in September as a reliever before reclaiming a spot in the rotation in the final week of the regular season, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino suggested after he resumed his throwing program a week and a half ago that he would be open to working out of the bullpen once cleared to return from the 60-day injured list, and the Yankees appear prepared to follow that plan. The right-hander said he expects to throw one inning in his first appearance with the Yankees before gradually raising his pitch count in his subsequent outings, ultimately maxing out at around 100 pitches by the time the regular season ends. If that plan holds and Severino performs as anticipated while working longer in games, he expects to slot back into the rotation during the postseason. Before he sees any action with the big club, however, Severino will still need to clear several hurdles in his recovery over the next month and change. He's been throwing off flat ground from 75 feet this week and could be ready to throw bullpen sessions in early-to-mid-August.

Severino (lat) said Monday that he would be willing to fill a bullpen role if the Yankees prefer to bring him back from the 60-day injured list in that capacity later this season, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a shutdown period of just over two weeks, Severino was cleared to resume a throwing program Monday now that his strained right lat has fully healed. Because he's been on the shelf since March with a shoulder injury that later morphed into the lat issue, Severino will need to go through his own version of spring training before making his 2019 debut. Severino, who threw approximately 25 times from 60 feet Monday, would be able to expedite his return to the big club by working in a relief role, but it's unclear if the Yankees are willing to abandon the idea of bringing the righty back as a member of the rotation. Expect the Yankees to provide more clarity on Severino's role once he advances further along in the rehab process.

Manager Aaron Boone said that Severino (lat) received clearance to resume a throwing program Monday, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sidelined all season with rotator cuff inflammation and then a Grade 2 lat strain, Severino will essentially need to complete a full spring training before the Yankees consider activating him from the 60-day injured list. He'll start by throwing on flat ground for the first time in approximately two weeks before advancing to bullpen sessions. Realistically, Severino won't be ready to return from the IL until late August and could have his pitch counts monitored carefully in any starts he makes before the regular season ends.

Severino (lat) will be re-examined Saturday and could resume his throwing program if the evaluation is promising, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino has been out all season with lat issues and suffered a setback in late June, forcing him to pause his throwing program. Even if he's able to resume throwing Saturday, the Yankees still don't expect him back in action for at least six more weeks. The team is considering having him return as a 75-pitch starter or a reliever, which would lessen his fantasy value but could help keep him healthy through the playoffs.

Severino (lat) had his throwing program shut down Saturday and isn't expected to return from the 60-day injured list until late August at the earliest, George A. King III of the New York Post reports. "He had a little bit of soreness and we held off a little bit. He re-MRI-ed which is what we wanted to do before he got back on the mound," manager Aaron Boone said of Severino. "He is about 90 percent healed so we kind of slowed it down. He will probably be throwing again, hopefully, in five to seven days. He won't get back on the mound until it's 100 percent."

EDGE Analysis

Per Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger, general manager Brian Cashman admitted Sunday that Severino shouldn't have been throwing in the first place while his strained lat was only 90 percent healed, so the Yankees will now exercise caution and wait until he's 100 percent before ramping things up. Since he's been on the shelf all season, Severino will essentially require a full spring training regimen -- approximately six weeks in length -- before the Yankees sign off on an eventual return from the IL. Assuming Severino avoids any further setbacks and meets the Yankees' goal of being ready to return by late August, he would likely pick up around 4-to-6 starts before the regular season ends.

Severino (lat) suffered a setback and won't return until mid-August at the earliest, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is dealing with soreness again in his lat and will be shut down for about a week, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. An MRI showed that the lat is 90 percent healed, and he will not throw until it is 100 percent healed.
