The 26-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery back in February but says he is making steady progress in his rehab. Severino will obviously miss any 2020 game action but should be able to return partway through 2021 if things continue progressing in the right direction.

Luis Severino with a elbow injury has been rehabbing at the Yankees' spring-training complex.

Severino was limited to three regular season starts due to injury. His stats from last season were 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA and 17 strikeouts. Even when the season starts Severino will be out for season after having Tommy John surgery.

The Yankees also announced that Severino had a bone chip removed during the procedure. Severino will miss the entire 2020 season, and likely a portion of 2021 as well.

Luis Severino released in a statement that he will undergo Tommy John surgery.

Severino will require Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2020 season. “After much consideration, as well as the Yankees organization, my family, and my representatives, I have elected to adhere to the advice of the medical professions and undergo surgery to repair my injured elbow,” said Severino. He was limited to just three starts due to rotator cuff and lat injuries, and could even miss some of the 2021 season. Severino is a dynasty hold, but should not be drafted under any circumstances in re-draft leagues.

Tommy John surgery has been recommended for New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino, according to General Manager and Senior Vice President Brian Cashman.

Fantasy Impact

Tommy John surgery is the absolute worst-case scenario, as it means that Severino will now miss all of 2020 and likely the beginning of 2021. He will surely head for at least one additional opinion before any decision is made, but he should be avoided in all drafts until any additional news is available.
