Yankees' Luis Severino Won't Return from Injury Until After MLB All-Star Break
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman confirmed to reporters Sunday that starter Luis Severino will not return to the rotation before the All-Star break.
Severino, 25, is on the 60-day injured list due to a lat strain suffered in spring training. The Yankees ace said in April he does not know when the injury occurred.
"I was playing catch and I never [felt pain]," Severino told reporters. "[But] it just wasn't progressing. It was really slow. I [knew] something was going on ... inflammation, that goes quickly. So I knew it was something else."
Yankees doctors had initially diagnosed him with rotator cuff inflammation before a follow-up scan revealed the lat strain.
