4 years agoNew York Yankee starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow) had his throwing session pushed back a day due to back stiffness. Severino was slated to face live hitters for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery, though that will have to wait a day after the 27-year-old hurler woke up with a stiff back. Aside from this, which appears to be a minor setback, Severino has been progressing well- and still seems to be on track for a return to the rotation in July. He is expected to face live hitters on Thursday, and the Yankees should provide an update as to how the session went. Severino, who averaged 225 strikeouts and a 3.18 ERA from 2017-2018, should be stashed wherever possible.--Tim Capurso
