Yankees' Luis Severino: Roughed up in first inning
Rotowire
Severino (0-1) took the loss Friday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk over four innings against the Dodgers. He struck out two.
Severino's third start was his worst start of the season, as he allowed more runs (7) and home runs (3) Friday than he had allowed runs in his previous two starts combined. He threw a season-high 83 pitches, as he should be stretched out to go deeper in games when he is more effective. His ERA sits at 5.28, but six of the nine runs he has allowed came in a single inning. His next scheduled start is against the White Sox, when he will look to get back on track.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Allows one hit across 6.2 innings
Rotowire
Severino did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks over 6.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out five.
Severino's one hit allowed was a solo homer off the bat of Fernando Tatis in the fourth. Though it was definitely encouraging to see Severino reach into the seventh inning, he was still pulled after only 82 pitches after going 75 in his first start of 2023. Considering Severino has managed to pitch only 120.0 innings combined over the last three years, expect the Yankees to continue to hold him on a pitch count for his next couple of starts. Regardless, fantasy managers who stashed Severino have already had the investment pay off, with Severino allowing two earned runs with 10 strikeouts over 11.1 innings pitched so far.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Solid in season debut
Rotowire
Severino did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over 4.2 innings in a 4-1 victory over the Reds. He struck out five.
Severino surrendered a run in the first inning Sunday before holding the Reds to three hits over his final 3.2 frames. Overall, it was an encouraging debut for Severino, who was pulled after throwing 75 pitches. The Yankees will likely be careful with Severino's pitch counts after he missed the start of the season with a lat injury. He's currently lined up to face the Padres at home in his next outing.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Reinstated from IL
Rotowire
Severino (lat) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Sunday's start against the Reds.
Severino will make his season debut for the Yankees on Sunday after he completed two rehab starts with Double-A Somerset. Over those contests, the right-hander surrendered three runs on eight hits while striking out six batters over 6.2 innings. Considering the fact that he didn't go past 3.1 frames in either start, Severino will likely be limited in his first major-league outing of 2023. Severino produced a 3.18 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 112 strikeouts over 102 innings in 19 starts last year, and moving forward could be a valuable fantasy asset once again this season.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Making season debut Sunday
Rotowire
Severino (lat) will make his season debut for the Yankees on Sunday in Cincinnati, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Severino went only 3.1 innings in each of his two rehab starts, maxing out at 58 pitches in his last outing Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. That means he'll surely be on a relatively limited pitch count in his season debut, making him a fairly iffy fantasy option at Great American Ball Park. Still, the Yankees and fantasy managers will be happy to get Severino back -- perhaps for the long haul -- if he can manage to avoid more injuries.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Will throw up to 60 pitches Tuesday
Rotowire
Severino (lat) will throw up to 60 pitches for Double-A Somerset on Tuesday in a rehab start, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Severino threw 49 pitches in his rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, and he'll get a chance to go a little deeper in this outing. If things go well for Severino on Tuesday, his next start could be made over the weekend against the Reds, but the team will evaluate how things go before making that decision. Assuming there are no setbacks, Severino should be a part of the Yankees' rotation by the end of May.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Could make season debut Sunday
Rotowire
Severino (lat) may be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Severino threw 49 pitches in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last Wednesday, and he's slated to make his next start with the minor-league club Tuesday. The right-hander will likely increase his pitch count to some extent in that outing, and if the appearance goes well, he could be given the green light to make his 2023 MLB debut Sunday. Severino would almost certainly have his workload monitored under that scenario, as he didn't see any sort of game action during the entire month of April as he worked his way back from a low-grade lat strain that he suffered near the end of spring training.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Tosses 49 pitches in rehab start
Rotowire
Severino (lat) completed 3.1 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three batters.
In Severino's first game action this season, he threw 29 of 49 pitches for a strike and gave up just one run on a third-inning solo homer. The right-hander is making his way back from a lat strain that occurred near the end of spring training. Per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, Severino will make another rehab start Tuesday. It's possible that he could join the Yankees rotation after that, though manager Aaron Boone hasn't yet committed to that scenario.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Rehab start likely coming Wednesday
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Severino (lat) is expected to make a rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
For his part, Severino said he prefers to make his first rehab start Thursday with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, since Wednesday's contest has an early start time that would require him to stay overnight in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. The Yankees could push Severino back a day to accommodate his wishes, but whether he takes the hill Wednesday or Thursday, it shouldn't ultimately have a dramatic effect on his timeline for making his 2023 MLB debut. Severino threw a three-inning, 40-pitch simulated game this past Friday in Tampa and experienced no ill effects, and he's expected to make at least two rehab starts before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Simulated game goes well
Rotowire
Severino (lat) felt good after throwing a simulated game Friday and will soon make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Manager Aaron Boone said at the start of May that Severino was two or three weeks from returning from the lat strain which has kept him out all season. While a planned rehab start became a simulated game instead, it doesn't appear as though he's significantly behind that schedule. Exactly how many rehab outings he needs will determine whether or not he's able to hit Boone's stated timeline.

Severino continues to make strong progress from the lat strain that has sidelined him for the first three-plus weeks of the regular season. The right-hander will make another throwing appearance over the weekend, and it sounds like if things go right he'll have a chance to begin a rehab assignment. At this point it seems likely that Severino will be able to make starts for the Yankees in the middle of May if there are no setbacks in his rehab.
