TAMPA – Luis Severino’s return from Tommy John surgery is going according to plan, but the real test will be when the right-hander throws his braking baggage for the first time.
“I’m not worried about it, I just want to know,” said Severino, who had elbow surgery only a year ago and is expected to return around Midson. “I want to start [to] Throw breaking pitches and see how it feels, not only that day, but the next day to see how my hand is recovering from throwing those pitches. “
He has thrown a pair of all bullpens so far – with Fastlane – and how he impressed Aaron Boone and bullpen coach Mike Harkie with a free and easy – and hard – throw as soon as his first bullpen. having had.
He will continue to throw the bullpens on Tuesday and Friday until he is ready to take the next step.
“I was feeling really good [first] Day and I feel great, ”said Severino. “I didn’t know what to do in the bullpen first, so I treated it like a normal bullpen. They told me not to work too hard so I tried to backup a little bit, but I was throwing well. Too many attacks. “
Severino said it was somewhat difficult to get his foot out of the gas.
“I haven’t dropped out of that game,” Severino said. “I am excited to be back on the mound. For the first time, I tried to do a good job and be myself. Being yourself means throwing hard, so it’s a little tough [not to], But I will do my best. “
When Severino continues his rehab, the Yankees are making their rounds and he looks forward to coming back and staying healthy.
“I do not know [how long I’ll be out], ”Said Severino. “This is the first time and hopefully the last time will be Tommy John.”
