The New York Yankees will likely be without Luis Severino until May as he deals with a shoulder injury.

Brian Cashman told reporters on Friday that it was unlikely Severino would be ready to pitch in a game before May 1 because of the rotator cuff inflammation that flared up in his right shoulder just before a start two weeks ago.

The rotator cuff became inflamed minutes before a March 5 start at George M. Steinbrenner Field against the Atlanta Braves.
