The same old same old is happening down in Florida for the Yankees with Luis Severino joining the list of players who are injured before the season has even started. The team will already be without James Paxton and Aaron Judge has also been dealing with shoulder discomfort and hasn't taken bathing practice yet.
According to Brian Cashman, Severino has had two MRIs and a CT scan after complaining of discomfort, however all tests have come back negative. He has treated with anti-inflammatories in January and apparently felt fine, but testing then revealed a "loose body" near his elbow. Are you still with me?
"It's just been fastball, slider; everything's good," Boone said. "We reintroduced [the] changeup the last couple of days on flat ground, no issues with that. And then last night, just sitting at home, he started to feel that soreness again; came in sore this morning. So we'll shut him down here for a couple days and hopefully try and get to what exactly is going on in there."
No further tests are scheduled at this time, but Cashman did not rule out that Severino might have to start the season on the injured list. It seems like a big "we'll see" right now as he only feels the pain on the changeup because of how he moves his arm.
Last season the Yanks set a major league record by sending 30 players to the injured list so this happening before the season even starts is not very surprising. However, Cashman does not seem too worried going into the season.
"Obviously you prefer to run your A-team out there. But I think we have a pretty strong B, C and D- team as well. We’ll see," said Cashman.
