Severino took a no-decision in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, there was some talk that Severino may have been tipping his pitches in his previous outing against the Dodgers, but if that was the case there didn't seem to be much of an adjustment Thursday against Chicago. The right-hander again had trouble keeping the ball in the park, as the White Sox teed off for three homers against him to account for all four of their runs. Severino has now given up six long balls across nine innings over his past two starts after allowing just one home run in 11.1 frames during his first two appearances of the campaign. On a positive note, Severino's six punchouts Thursday were a season high, but he's going to find success difficult to come by if teams continue to consistently take him deep.

Severino (0-1) took the loss Friday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk over four innings against the Dodgers. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Severino's third start was his worst start of the season, as he allowed more home runs Friday than he had allowed runs in his previous two starts combined. He threw a season-high 83 pitches, as he should be stretched out to go deeper in games when he is more effective. His ERA sits at 5.28, but six of the nine runs he has allowed came in a single inning. His next scheduled start is against the White Sox, where he will look to get back on track.

Severino did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks over 6.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Severino turned in another strong performance Saturday, allowing just one hit over 6.2 innings. However, the one hit was a solo homer off the bat of Fernando Tatis in the fourth. Though it was definitely encouraging to see Severino reach into the seventh inning, he was still pulled after only 82 pitches after going 75 in his first start of 2023. Considering Severino has only managed to pitch 120.0 innings combined over the last three years, expect the Yankees to continue to hold him on a pitch count for his next couple of starts. Regardless, fantasy managers who stashed Severino have already had the investment pay off, with Severino allowing 2 earned runs with 10 strikeouts over 11.1 innings pitched so far.

Severino did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over 4.2 innings in a 4-1 victory over the Reds. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Severino surrendered a run in the first inning Sunday before holding the Reds to three hits over his final 3.2 frames. Overall, it was an encouraging debut for Severino, who was pulled after throwing 75 pitches. The Yankees will likely be careful with Severino's pitch counts after he missed the start of the season with a lat injury. He's currently lined up to face the Padres at home in his next outing.

Severino (lat) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Sunday's start against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Severino will make his season debut for the Yankees on Sunday after he completed two rehab starts with Double-A Somerset. Over those contests, the right-hander surrendered three runs on eight hits while striking out six batters over 6.2 innings. Considering the fact that he didn't go past 3.1 frames in either start, Severino will likely be limited in his first major-league outing of 2023. Severino produced a 3.18 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 112 strikeouts over 102 innings in 19 starts last year, and moving forward could be a valuable fantasy asset once again this season.

Severino (lat) will make his season debut for the Yankees on Sunday in Cincinnati, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino went only 3.1 innings in each of his two rehab starts, maxing out at 58 pitches in his last outing Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. That means he'll surely be on a relatively limited pitch count in his season debut, making him a fairly iffy fantasy option at Great American Ball Park. Still, the Yankees and fantasy managers will be happy to get Severino back -- perhaps for the long haul -- if he can manage to avoid more injuries.

Severino (lat) will throw up to 60 pitches for Double-A Somerset on Tuesday in a rehab start, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino threw 49 pitches in his rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, and he'll get a chance to go a little deeper in this outing. If things go well for Severino on Tuesday, his next start could be made over the weekend against the Reds, but the team will evaluate how things go before making that decision. Assuming there are no setbacks, Severino should be a part of the Yankees' rotation by the end of May.

Severino (lat) may be activated from the IL in time to start Sunday in Cincinnati, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino threw 49 pitches in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last Wednesday, and he's slated to make his next start with the minor-league club Tuesday. The right-hander will likely increase his pitch count to some extent in that outing, and if the appearance goes well, he could be given the go-ahead to make his 2023 MLB debut Sunday against the Reds. Severino would almost certainly have his workload monitored under that scenario, as he didn't see any sort of game action during the entire month of April as he worked his way back from a low-grade lat strain that he suffered near the end of spring training.

Severino (lat) completed 3.1 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three batters.
EDGE Analysis
In Severino's first game action this season, he threw 29 of 49 pitches for a strike and gave up just one run on a third-inning solo homer. The right-hander is making his way back from a lat strain that occurred near the end of spring training. Per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, Severino will make another rehab start Tuesday. It's possible that he could join the Yankees rotation after that, though manager Aaron Boone hasn't yet committed to that scenario.

Severino (lat) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino had been hoping to push it to Thursday so he wouldn't have to drive to Scranton on Tuesday for an early morning start Wednesday, but the Yankees appear to have overruled him. The right-hander is aiming to make two rehab starts before rejoining the rotation, although it's possible the club will need him to put in more minor-league work than that before deeming him ready for activation.
