NEW YORK -- Yankees right-hander Luis Severino was removed from a minor league rehab start Saturday with what appeared to be a painful injury to his right leg.
Severino was making his second rehab start following Tommy John surgery in February 2020, pitching for High Class A Hudson Valley against Brooklyn. The 27-year-old began to hobble quickly after throwing a pitch in the second inning. He limped behind the mound, struggling to put weight on his right leg. Coaches and a trainer had to help him off the field.
The Yankees did not provide an immediate update.
