Yankees pitcher Luis Severino exited his rehab assignment with Hudson Valley in the second inning after suffering an apparent leg injury.
Later, the Yankees officially announced that Severino had suffered a right groin injury, with the pitcher scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday.
Severino delivered a pitch and immediately was unable to put any weight on his right leg, before the Renegades' dugout emptied to check on him.

Severino managed to get to the dugout, but was moving extremely gingerly with the help of multiple people on his way off the field.

In his brief appearance, Severino was looking good, according to The Athletic's Lindsey Adler, showcasing a fastball that touched 99 mph and sat at around 96 mph.
But all of that is on hold as the Yankees and their fans now hold their collective breath while awaiting the MRI results.
