Severino (shoulder) was diagnoised with a Grade 2 lat strain Tuesday and will be shut down for six weeks, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino underwent the MRI after he didn't feel right during his most recent session of long toss, but he apparently didn't aggravate his shoulder and suffered a new injury while rehabbing, per Adler. The 25-year-old is now likely out until at least mid-June as it will take some time for him to build up his arm strength, though there is no official timetable beyond the six weeks.

Severino (shoulder) will head to New York for an MRI on Tuesday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino had been throwing long toss but didn't feel right during his most recent session. The extent of the setback should become clear once the results of the MRI are known.

Severino (shoulder) is still playing long toss and has not advanced to mound work, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Last week's report had Severino potentially throwing a bullpen session early this week, but that has not transpired. This is a very murky situation, as Severino will need to clear several hurdles before presumably being sent on a multi-start rehab assignment.

Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Severino (shoulder) could throw a bullpen session early in the upcoming week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino has been long tossing off flat ground for about a week and a half, steadily increasing his throwing distance in each of those sessions. Assuming his shoulder responds well to the activity over the weekend, Severino will take another step forward by getting back on the mound. Despite Severino's continued progress, the Yankees intend to proceed slowly with their young ace, who has already been ruled out through at least April.

The Yankees officially placed Severino (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Severino is one of six Yankees who will open the season on the IL as the team set its roster ahead of Thursday's opener against the Orioles. The right-hander is currently throwing off flat ground at this stage of his recovery from right shoulder inflammation and isn't expected to make his season debut until sometime in May.

Severino (shoulder) threw out to 120 feet Monday, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino continues to slowly work his way back from a sore rotator cuff. The right-hander played catch at 90 feet Sunday before ramping things up Monday. While Severino is trending in the right direction, he's expected to remain sidelined until May.

Severino (shoulder) played catch at about 60 feet from flat ground Wednesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the cortisone shot Severino recently received having alleviated the pain in his right shoulder, he's now been cleared to resume his throwing program after a two-week rest period. Severino is slated to play catch again Thursday before the Yankees determine his next step, but general manager Brian Cashman has already suggested the right-hander won't be ready to make his 2019 debut until some point in May at the earliest. Expect the Yankees to formally place Severino on the injured list shortly before their March 28 season opener versus the Orioles.

Severino will throw for the first time since being shut down with a sore rotator cuff Wednesday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a positive development for Severino, who has not thrown since early March. Already ruled out until at least May, Severino's session on Wednesday will mark his first steps in returning to the mound.

Severino (shoulder) won't be ready to pitch in MLB games until May 1 at the earliest, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The flame-throwing righty received a cortisone shot in his inflamed right rotator cuff last week and said he was no longer feeling pain when lifting his arm. However, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters on Friday that Severino will be sidelined for at least the month of April, so it's confirmed the club will have to roll without its ace for the start of the season. Severino is in the midst of a two-week rest period before he'll start a throwing program as he works his way back into action.

Severino has been encouraged by how he feels in the days following a cortisone shot in his throwing shoulder and no longer feels pain when lifting his arm, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino received a cortisone shot in his right shoulder Wednesday after MRI results showed right rotator cuff inflammation. He'll rest for the next two weeks and will then commence a throwing program to get him ready for the regular season. Although Severino remains unlikely to be ready for the season opener, this is positive news in the early going for one of the Yankees' top arms.
