 Not great news when it comes to Luis Severino, Aaron Boone revealed at about 415 local time that Severino is actually headed back to New York City to undergo more testing on that shoulder. He'll have an MRI tomorrow and then he'll see Yankee's team physician Christopher Ramad. While Aaron Boone said that Severino did not complain of any additional pain, they are concerned that he hasn't been able to graduate to the next step. He has not done anything aside from throwing at 120 and 130 feet but he said he just does not feel right. With all that considered, I asked Aaron Boone just how concerned this Yankee's team is when it comes to Severino. I'm hoping that it's, you know, just him not being able to quite get over the hump yet. You know, the original testing that we did with him lent us to be pretty confident but we got to make sure he's right and the fact that he hasn't been able to graduate to the flat ground throwing yet to the mound. You know, we got to try and answer those questions as best we can. And this spring started off oh so well for Luis Severino. Back on February 15th, he signed an extension avoiding arbitration knowing that he would be with the Yankees for the next four years but then on March 5th it was scratched from that spring training start with right rotator cuff inflammation Now today he is being sent back to New York. He will have that MRI tomorrow. The Yankees are holding their breath when it comes to Severino but there is some good news when it comes to the injuries C.C. Sabathea threw yesterday for the Tampa Tarpons. He went four and two-thirds did not report any issues so the plan for him is to rejoin the team when they get back home to the Bronx. Aaron Boone not exactly sure what day he will start but it is expected that he will be there and Dylan Batances threw to hitters today. He will throw a simulated game on Thursday. They don't believe he is going to need to face that many more hitters thereafter so he could be back sooner rather than later. Now Jack and John, I heard you talking about the tests that the Yankees are going to encounter when it comes to the Houston Astros a team that won 100 plus games last year. They were expected to do big things again and Aaron Boone spoke about some of the challenges when it comes to facing this Astros team here in Houston. Start with tonight with starting pitcher Justin Verlander about as good as it gets. Obviously you know if you're going to have a chance to beat him you've got to be air tight with your game plan and your execution. It's a very athletic team. It's a team offensively that kind of has a nice blend of power and speed. They do a good job of putting the ball in play, of working counts. They're athletic on defense. They throw the ball well in the outfield. This is a complete team that to beat them you've got to play well.
