TAMPA, Fla. — The Yankees’ rotation has suffered another blow, as Luis Severino is dealing with a low-grade lat strain on his right side.
“It’s gonna put him in jeopardy to start the year,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday morning. Boone added that it’s “probably an IL” situation for the right-hander, but Boone’s understanding is that this is not a long-term issue. The skipper called the injury “subtle.”
NJ Advance Media’ Max Goodman first reported Severino suffered an injury.
