Serna (shoulder) has compiled a 4.97 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB in 12.2 innings with the Yankees' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate since being cleared to make his season debut June 27.
The 19-year-old righty missed the first three weeks of FCL play while the Yankees brought him along slowly from a shoulder issue that first surfaced during spring training. Though Serna has been held to a fairly standard rest schedule for each of his six starts, he hasn't exceeded three innings in any of his outings.

Yankees' Luis Serna: Rebounding from shoulder injury
Rotowire
Serna remains at extended spring training for the start of the minor-league season while he works through right shoulder fatigue, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
Serna made his professional debut at the rookie-ball level last season, submitting a 1.96 ERA and 56:17 K:BB in 41.1 innings. Based on that performance, the 18-year-old right-hander looked like a candidate to begin the 2023 campaign with a full-season affiliate, but the Yankees will take it slowly with him while he tends to what appears to be a minor shoulder injury. Serna could still report to Single-A Tampa once the Yankees feel comfortable with where he's at on the health front.
