Severino Shut Down Due To Forearm Discomfort

[Bellhorn04]

In yet another bit of troubling injury news for Yankees fans, manager Aaron Boone revealed Thursday that right-hander Luis Severino is experiencing forearm soreness that dates all the way back to his final ALCS appearance in 2019 (Twitter links via MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch). Severino also has a loose body in his elbow, per Boone. He’ll be shut down for at least the next few days and will be examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad tomorrow. Asked if Severino would be ready for Opening Day, Boone could only reply, “We’ll see.”

this doesnt make sense bell.

per jacksonianmarch only redsox pitchers have health worries. yankees pitchers dont get injured?

[jacksonianmarch]

The Paxton injury was not as painful knowing Sevy was coming back. This one is painful. Let’s hope it’s nothing, but damn that’s not good

[bkzwhitestrican]

Nice, at this rate we'll be seeing Chad Bettis starting on Opening Day.

[jacksonianmarch]

A wise man once said, “you can never have enough pitching.”

 

We have Paxton and German coming back June 1. If this is just soreness and nothing else, then we dodge a bullet. If this is TJS, then we roll with what we have and thank god we got Cole

We have the depth to have a real prospect starting. But that’s not what we want when we are the favorites to win a title

[jacksonianmarch]

He apparently has a “loose body” in his elbow that they f***ing knew about in October. Why the ever living f*** didn’t they remove that?

[Slasher9]

in a Eovaldi thread:

Loose bodies aren’t all that problematic long term, but they need to be retrieved. Opening the elbow, recovery, build up, etc is probably going to cost him 3 months. Wouldn’t be surprised if Eovaldi comes back in relief after 10 weeks or so without the buildup. I guess it depends on what is needed at the time

 

I'll let you all guess who posted it.

Crack medical staff.

And I stand by that. What the f***

[jacksonianmarch]

Confirmed by Sevy himself. Exam results pending, but says it’s the same pain as October, only hurts on changeup. He was told it was the loose bodies. Just f***ing get them removed and come back strong in July. f***

It does seem strange that some of these things aren't addressed earlier than they are. With both Paxton and Severino. It's happened with Red Sox pitchers too of course.

[jacksonianmarch]

Paxton makes sense. Most of the time, herniated disks are treated with injections and rest. You also cannot inject then operate immediately due to problems with healing.

 

For Sevy, I don’t get it. It’s likely not going away. Remove them

Are you starting to see why we think you are more aggressive when criticizing Sox pitcher's health concerns, when all along we've been telling you to do the same with Yankee starters?

it is refreshing to see another teams medical staff look like a bugs bunny cartoon....for awhile i thought it was only us....

I criticize the Sox because they’ve got ZERO depth. The name of the game with pitching is depth. No team finishes with the same starting 5 except for the 05 White Sox.

 

From the sounds of it, they’re going to let him try and pitch through this. MRI and CTs negative. But if they know he’s got loose bodies and it’s currently hurting him and we have 5 weeks til the season starts, just f***ing fix it

[jacksonianmarch]

I’m still trying to f***ing understand this logic. He had “loose bodies” ie broken off bits of cartilage or bone chips floating in his elbow. They thought they could settle down with rest. He had the whole f***ing offseason to rest. He returns and the pain returns. How will rest and rehab help this when he’s already had four f***ing months of rest. Fix it. I know he will miss some time and he wants a healthy year, but if he goes into July and can’t handle it, then he’s done for the season. We have depth and we have the lineup and pen to beat teams early. We need a healthy Sevy for October

Severino is headed back to NY for another series of tests. My hope is the “test” leads to them removing those loose bodies.

Entirely possible the loose bodies are more recent and he might not be fully truthful about his offseason activities. Hardly a first for a ballplayer...

If Severino was a Red Stocking:

 

"Retire now binch." - Jacko

[jacksonianmarch]

Lol. Give me a time when I was wrong on these medical reports provided accurate info was released?

 

I told you guys last year when Nate had the same problem. A 4-6 week timetable initially floated was ridiculous. For a starter to be able to go to 80 pitches again, it’s a 10-12 week return. A reliever can come back in around 8 weeks as there is no need to build them up. I’d rather just get this over with now so we can see Sevy sometime in May

You do more than criticize depth. You bashed every single one of our starters, except ERod for their injury history and chances of recovering, yet you seemed very optimistic about all your starters, despite their injury history, lack of IP'd the last few years or ver recent time on the IL.

 

Just saying...

To be fair, he's talked about ERod's injury history and lack of full season production many, many tmes.

[jacksonianmarch]

The only guy with recurrent injury issues on the staff was Paxton. I’ve acknowledged that and he once again came through with an injury. Sevy was misdiagnosed last year but he finished the year without shoulder or lat issues. His previous history pointed towards a bounce back.

 

Prior to the big trade, the Sox had four guys in their rotation with recurrent injury issues and two who finished the year injured. That’s not the same at all.

Sevy is now pretty close to being officially "injury-plagued" at age 26.

I've never understood this reasoning for "rest." It's seems so obvious to get the procedure needed done ASAP.

True, but not this winter.

Some guys do get away with no operation. Tanaka, Price. Hopefully Sale.
