Severino Exits Early With Arm Soreness, IL Stint Likely

The A's righty lasted just one inning Friday after recurring right triceps tightness flared up again, with Oakland expected to place him on the 15-day IL.

Luis Severino was pulled after only 23 pitches in the first inning of Oakland's 8-2 loss to the Yankees on Friday due to arm soreness. The issue traces back to right triceps tightness he felt coming out of his May 21 start. Despite a bullpen session Tuesday that went well, the A's had already pushed his next start back for extra rest. No IL decision has been made yet, but further tests are scheduled and a 15-day stint is considered the likely outcome.
