Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Severino (lat) is expected to make a rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

For his part, Severino said he prefers to make his first rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, since Wednesday's contest has an early start time that would require him to stay overnight in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. The Yankees could push Severino back a day to accommodate his wishes, but whether he takes the hill Wednesday or Thursday, it shouldn't ultimately have a dramatic effect on his timeline for making his 2023 MLB debut. Severino threw a three-inning, 40-pitch simulated game this past Friday in Tampa and experienced no ill effects, and he's expected to make at least two rehab starts before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Severino (lat) felt good after throwing a simulated game Friday and will soon make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Aaron Boone said at the start of May that Severino was two or three weeks from returning from the lat strain which has kept him out all season. While a planned rehab start became a simulated game instead, it doesn't appear as though he's significantly behind that schedule. Exactly how many rehab outings he needs will determine whether or not he's able to hit Boone's stated timeline.

Severino (lat) will throw a live batting practice session Friday instead of beginning a rehab assignment, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The plan had been for Severino to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Thursday, but the Yankees have decided they'd rather the pitcher work in a more controlled environment. If everything goes well Friday, he'll then begin a rehab assignment next week. Severino is expected back in mid- to late-May and this news shouldn't change that timetable.

EDGE Analysis

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that he hoped to get Severino back in 2-3 weeks, so expect the right-hander to make at least two and possible three rehab starts. He's been on the shelf all season with a strained right lat muscle.

Manager Aaron Boone said Monday in an interview with the Talkin' Yanks podcast that Severino (lat) will rejoin the Yankees' rotation within the next 2-to-3 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Severino will begin a rehab assignment either Wednesday or Thursday with High-A Tampa. Based on Boone's timetable, the right-hander is expected to make at least two rehab starts before rejoining the big club, assuming Severino experiences no setbacks. Severino has been on the 15-day injured list all season with a strained right lat.

Severino (lat) will begin a rehab assignment either Wednesday or Thursday for High-A Tampa, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino will likely need to make multiple rehab starts before returning to the Yankees' rotation, as he's missed all of the 2023 campaign while recovering from a lat strain. If everything goes well in his minor-league outings, the right-hander could be a member of the Yankees' rotation around the middle of May.

Severino (lat) threw 40 pitches over three up-and-down sessions Friday in a live session before the Yankees' game against the Rangers, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino continues to make strong progress from his lat strain, and he increased his workload slightly after participating in two sessions Monday. The right-hander is trending towards a rehab assignment, but nothing has been scheduled yet. It's likely Severino rejoins the Yankees in the middle of May if he has no setbacks.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Severino (lat) threw two up and downs for the Yankees on Monday and will throw again Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino continues to make strong progress from the lat strain that has sidelined him for the first three-plus weeks of the regular season. The right-hander will make another throwing appearance over the weekend, and it sounds like if things go right he'll have a chance to begin a rehab assignment. At this point it seems likely that Severino will be able to make starts for the Yankees in the middle of May if there are no setbacks in his rehab.

Severino (lat) is scheduled to throw one more live batting practice session before possibly starting a rehab assignment, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino had a successful split bullpen Thursday, throwing 15 pitches in the bullpen and another 20 in live batting practice. He's now headed to the Yankees' spring training complex to continue his rehab and could conceivably be ready for a rehab assignment at some point next week.

EDGE Analysis

It will be his first time facing hitters since he was diagnosed with a lat strain in late March. A rehab assignment for Severino should be just around the corner. The right-hander figures to need multiple rehab starts before rejoining the Yankees' rotation but could conceivably be back by early May.
