New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino will come off the injured list to make his season debut Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds on the road.
Severino has been on the shelf with a lat strain sustained in spring training.
Also Thursday, the Yankees placed starting catcher Jose Trevino on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain and recalled catcher Ben Rortvedt from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Trevino, 30, is batting .219 with three home runs and 11 RBIs in 30 games (28 starts) this season, his second in New York. He’s a career .243 hitter.
Severino, 29, has pitched in just 26 regular-season games in the past four seasons because of a variety of injuries. In 2018, he posted a 19-8 record. In seven major league seasons, all with the Yankees, Severino is 50-29 with a 3.39 ERA in 122 games (107 starts) and 638 innings pitched.
Rortvedt, 25, hasn’t appeared in the major leagues since 2021 with Minnesota. He’s hitting .169 in 89 career at bats.
The Yankees also announced that right-hander Tommy Kahnle (biceps tendinitis) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday at Single-A Tampa.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone also announced that right-hander Ian Hamilton (groin) is back in New York having an MRI, left-hander Carlos Rodon played catch at 90 feet and Giancarlo Stanton is “getting real close” to returning.
Rodon is recovering from a left forearm strain, sustained after just one spring start.
The Yankees placed Hamilton on the 15-day IL Wednesday.
Stanton was placed on the IL last month with a left hamstring strain.
