A new year, a new set of injuries for the Yankees.George A. King III, Post:
Luis Severino, who missed all but the final weeks of 2019, was shut down Thursday with "concerning," forearm soreness which began in October ...
The Yankees are already going to start the regular season without two rotation regulars. James Paxton, who had back surgery earlier this month, and Domingo German, who is serving a suspension under the MLB/MLBPA joint domestic violence policy. ... [T]he Yankees starting pitching depth is being stretched thin. ...
[T]he Yankees need to figure out what is going on with Severino's elbow, a mystery that dates back to the American League Championship Series.
Severino ... had two MRIs and a CT scan over the winter trying to determine the cause of the soreness, which the Yankees say he only feels when he throws his changeup. ...
Severino was shut down last spring, right after signing a new four-year $40 million contract, with right rotator cuff inflammation and missed most of the season after suffering a strained, or partly torn, lat muscle during his rehab.
Three days into full-squad workouts, the Yankees need a MRI machine to take a team picture following a 2019 season in which they wore out the injured list by using it 39 times.Bill Madden, Daily News:
Luis Severino was slated to throw live batting practice Thursday ... but he didn't, which led to Aaron Boone and GM Brian Cashman explaining why.
Boone and Cashman said the former staff ace was scratched due to right forearm soreness that the manager didn't believe was related to the shoulder and lat injuries that limited him to three September starts and two in the postseason last season after signing a four-year, $40 million deal.
Yet, there is a sense of trepidation about the circumstances involving James Paxton (back surgery) and Severino ...
Severino's issue follows Aaron Judge experiencing a right shoulder problem that has kept him out of full batting practice during the first three days of full-squad workouts. It is also the second setback for a Yankees starter, as Paxton isn't expected to return from back surgery until June at the earliest. Paxton had the surgery on Feb. 5.
We are barely two weeks into spring training and already the Yankees are down two starting pitchers for the month of April. ...
Cashman thought he'd finally hit upon a bonafide No. 1 in Luis Severino ... He's so far seen him constantly hurt after signing a four-year, $40 million extension last February. Severino is now hurt again — shut down with what was described as forearm pain — and joins James Paxton as projected Nos. 2-3 Yankee starters ... who will instead not be part of the rotation to start the season. And, of course, there is also Domingo German, who ... hit an impasse himself by getting suspended 81 games for domestic violence.
George A. King III, Post:
Two MRI exams and a CT scan during the offseason didn't find the reason why Luis Severino's right forearm was sore ... and forced him to be shut down Thursday."This stuff"? ... I thought you just said there was nothing wrong. But I have to say, you sound worried in your quotes in the next story.
So after being examined by Yankees doctor Chris Ahmad on Friday morning, Severino was making plans to fly to New York and begin three days of testing at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital on Monday. ...
The need for extensive testing be done on the 26-year-old right-hander stems from previous tests not delivering a reason for the soreness. ...
After Ahmad examined Severino, the pitcher said he didn't get a diagnosis. ...
With the discomfort in the forearm below the elbow, Severino doesn't believe the cause is related to the hinge. Nor does he think a serious issue is lurking.
"I don't think there is something wrong ..." said Severino ...
It is the second consecutive spring training Severino, 26, has been sidelined. A year ago, he was diagnosed with an inflamed right rotator cuff. While rehabbing that injury, Severino strained a lat muscle. ...
"It's strange to hear this stuff again," Severino said. "We're dealing with it and seeing what we can do."
Kristie Ackert, Daily News:
Luis Severino is headed back to New York on Monday to undergo a battery of tests to try and determine what is causing the forearm soreness near his right elbow. The Yankees right-hander ... has been shut down from throwing indefinitely and is alarmed, frustrated, but yet still hopeful that this medical mystery that began back in October will be solved ....
"I hope, man. I hope this is nothing. I hope this goes away tomorrow ...," Severino said before meeting with the doctor. "I hope it's nothing." ...
Severino is already a week and a half behind the other Yankees starters. Friday he said that he is hopeful he will avoid beginning a second straight season on the injured list. ...
Adding to the frustration is the fact that Severino was shut down right before his first 2019 spring training start with rotator cuff inflammation. Sometime during his rehab from that injury, Severino suffered a severe lat strain, forcing him to miss the first 151 games of the season. After signing a four-year, $40 million deal in February 2019, Severino did not make his first start until Sept. 17 and pitched just 12 regular-season innings.

New rule, all Yankee pitchers who sign a 4 year $40 million contract will have to legally change their name to C-A-R-L P-A-V-A-N-O
In return they get a host of mysterious injuries, and have to be extra careful and watch out for hydroplaning while driving in rain or snow.
