 news on louise severino what is that his return is becoming much more of a reality bob yesterday he pitched with a trend thunder he went three and two thirds allowed five hits one earned run struck out four in the process did not walk anybody he stepped out on the mound and fired in a 95 mile an hour fastball to start things off he looked pretty good out there and Aaron Boone said the next step for him will be to rejoin the Yankees when they return home it looks like he will start Tuesday against the angels I asked Aaron Boone what he thought of that outing positive another another good step for him I watched some of the I haven't watched all the outing yet but watch some of it you know thought thought the command was pretty good you know flashed all his pitches velocity was there so you know got his pitch count up again up to I think 65 so you should be in line to join us now how far off does he look from the guy that dominated at times on the mountain of the big league level yeah not not far off at all you know I think now it's just a matter of really just getting real sharp but but as I think you can tell he feels good stuff is there you know now it's just getting real sharp with it and getting that consistency where we know that he has that and then it can go out and dominate when you say online to join when does that happen and how do you integrate him into things will he start for you will he come in piggy back me somebody we'll see how these next couple days go which is you know him getting here I think it's coming to Toronto but the thought is he'll probably start Tuesday when we open our homestays all year now that he's seemingly right on the verge what you know what kind of a boost is that just to see him back with no question we're excited to get him back you know and feel like you know as I've been talking for a while I feel like he's been in a pretty good place physically now for a couple months and building really good momentum that I feel like his progression has gone really smooth you know and the fact that he's up over 65 now and probably a chance to make I think three starts or so with us hopefully allows him to continue to build up continue to you know find that consistency and you know he could be a game changer guy for us there's no question and Severino through 64 pitches in that rehab start so you figure he'll likely go 75 to 80 when he actually gets on the mound at the big league level and it looks as though there is in fact enough time for him to get completely stretched out as a starter giving the Yankees some more options as long as he remains healthy but all indications are that he's been throwing the ball well and has felt strong I spoke to him prior to the Yankees going on the road and he had said that he just felt like he was strong and the ball was coming out good so that is certainly good news for the Yankees
