Severino was placed on the minor-league injured list at Low-A Cedar Rapids due to a broken left thumb, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Severino will miss some time in his first taste of full-season ball. He'd gone 6-for-22 with four walks through six games prior to the injury.

Severino signed a $2.5 million contract with the Twins on Friday, pending a physical, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
One of the 12 prospects granted free agency as part of the Braves' sanctions for violating international signing guidelines, Severino has to be considered one of the biggest losses for Atlanta. The 18-year-old was ranked as the No. 8 international prospect by Baseball America at the time of his agreement with Atlanta last summer, and will now become a part of the Twins' organization following one last workout in front of scouts earlier this week. In the Gulf Coast League last season, Severino slashed .286/.345/.444 with three home runs, 19 extra-base hits and 27 RBI in 48 games. Although it's unlikely that the infielder will see the major-league diamond in 2018, he projects to be a key part of the future in Minnesota.

Severino will be declared a free agent by MLB as part of the Braves' punishment for illegal dealings in the international free agent market, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Top prospect Kevin Maitan is also expected to hit the market as a result of the sanctions, along with a couple of other prospects. While Maitan is clearly the biggest loss for the Braves, Severino is also tough to see go, as he was ranked as the No. 8 overall prospect by Baseball America when Atlanta inked him to a $1.9 million deal last summer. He's still raw, but the 18-year-old flashed his potential at the plate in rookie ball, hitting .286/.345/.444 with three homers and 27 RBI in 48 games. He'll likely develop some more over-the-fence power as he continues to develop. While he was originally touted as a potential shortstop, Severino spent most of his time at second base in his first season of pro ball.
