NEW YORK -- Yankees right-hander Luis Severino was removed from a minor league rehab start Saturday because of a right groin injury and will get an MRI.
Severino, 27, was making his second rehab start following Tommy John surgery in February 2020, pitching for High Class A Hudson Valley against Brooklyn.
Severino 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.
Severino looked sharp in his first rehab appearance, reaching 98 mph with his fastball.
