After being shutdown for two weeks because of right rotator cuff inflammation, Luis Severino began to throw again on Wednesday.
Severino made 25 throws from 60 feet Wednesday morning, and said he didn’t feel any pain. He said his mechanics felt a little “off” because he had been inactive for two weeks, according to Bryan Hoch
Luis Severino made 25 throws at 60 feet this morning. He said that his mechanics were "off" because it has been two weeks, but he felt no pain. He'll throw again tomorrow, then take a day off.

Severino, 24, was shutdown in February shortly after he inked a four-year, $40 million contract extension with a club option for a fifth year. He’s expected to miss the first month of the season, and could return in May if all goes well with his throwing program.
