Yankees News: Luis Severino Shut Down for 6 Weeks After Suffering Lat Injury

New York Yankees ace Luis Severino continues to be plagued by injuries this season with a new ailment.

Per The Athletic's Lindsey Adler, Severino will be shut down for six weeks with a Grade 2 lat strain on top of the shoulder injury that's held him out since spring training.

Severino opened 2019 on the injury list, with manager Aaron Boone announcing Tuesday his star pitcher was undergoing more tests.

The uncertainty around Severino's return to the mound comes on the heels of a difficult ending to 2018.
