New York Yankees pitcher Luis Severino has aired their frustrations about how the team have handled the player's return to action from a lat strain.
Severino, 29, strained the latissimus dorsi muscle during the final week of spring training and has been sidelined with the problem ever since. Initial predictions were that the two-time all-star would only miss three or four starts, but it is now likely to be a nine or ten-game absence.
The pitcher was due to begin a rehabilitation assignment last week with the team's Single-A affiliate, the Tampa Tarpons, but the Yankees held him out. Instead, he threw in a simulated game on Friday, the same day New York played the Tampa Bay Rays.
