Around the Empire: Yankees news - 3/17/21

New York Post | Dan Martin: The Yankees endured a plethora of injuries in 2019 and 2020, and they haven’t stopped in 2021. Kyle Higashioka was slated to play in Tuesday’s game against the Tigers, but he was scratched because of soreness in his side. The Yankees downplayed it, so it doesn’t seem too serious. “We didn’t want to mess with anything too much,” Aaron Boone said. “Just try to avoid an injury situation.” Along with Higgy, relief pitcher Adam Warren has also been shut down with shoulder soreness.

Sports Illustrated | Max Goodman: Luis Severino has been out since 2019 as he underwent Tommy John surgery, but he is ramping back up and is excited to be back out on the mound and he’s feeling strong.
