CBS Sports | Matt Snyder: Yesterday, we learned that Luis Severino had suffered a low-grade lat strain that will likely land him on the IL to start the season. He will join Carlos Rodón and Frankie Montas on the shelf as the Yankees will be without three-fifths of their projected starting rotation on Opening Day. (Jhony Brito is seen as a possible candidate to fill in.)
This marks the fourth season in the last five years that Severino will miss the start of the campaign to injury, having appeared in just seven games from 2019 through 2021 thanks to Tommy John surgery, shoulder, and groin injuries.
