A's right-hander Luis Severino (shoulder) began a throwing progression on July 25.

EDGE Analysis

Severino has been on the injured list since May 30 due to a right shoulder strain, but it appears he could be turning a corner towards a return. The veteran owns a 4.16 ERA across 12 starts on the season.

Luis Severino is expected to begin a throwing progression soon.

EDGE Analysis

Severino is on the 60-day injured list. He'll have a chance to return in August.

The Athletics transferred Severino (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander landed on the injured list in late May due to a shoulder strain and was scheduled to be evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, so he already seemed likely to spend more than 60 days on the shelf. Now three weeks into his recovery, Severino could be re-evaluated within the next week or two, at which point a target date for his return could begin to come into focus.

The Athletics announced Tuesday that Severino has been diagnosed with a strain of his right shoulder capsule and subscapularis muscle and will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino sustained the injury during his most recent start Friday against the Yankees and was placed on the 15-day injured list a day later. The right-hander underwent an MRI on Monday that confirmed the severity of the shoulder strain, which he'll treat with a platelet-rich plasma injection Thursday. Severino will wait for the shot to take effect before he begins the rehab process, and since he's not expected to start ramping up his throwing until he gets re-evaluated at the beginning of July, the 32-year-old would appear unlikely to return from the IL before the All-Star break.

The Athletics placed Severino on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder strain.

EDGE Analysis

Severino made an early exit from Friday's game due to what was originally labeled as arm soreness, but further evaluation determined the right-hander suffered a strain in his shoulder. The severity of the strain is unclear, but he'll now have to wait until at least mid-June for his next opportunity on a big-league mound. Michael Kelly will come up from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to give the A's extra bullpen depth until they need another starter.

Severino was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees with right arm soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Severino gave up four unearned runs and struck out a batter during his lone inning of work before his arm forced him to leave his start prematurely. The A's will presumably send him in for imaging to determine whether a structural issue is causing his soreness, and more details on his injury could come out in the near future.

Severino is scheduled to make his next start Friday versus the Yankees in Sacramento, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander had been on track to take the hill Tuesday against the Mariners, but he'll wind up getting pushed back a few days in the pitching schedule as the Athletics make room in the rotation for lefty Gage Jump, who was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas. With Jump now slated to start Tuesday and Jeffrey Springs in line to start Wednesday's series finale with Seattle, Severino will wind up getting the ball Friday on seven days' rest in a matchup versus one of his former squads. The extra downtime could prove beneficial for Severino, who racked up a season-high 10 punchouts in his previous start last Thursday in Anaheim.

Severino allowed two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out 10 batters over seven innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Severino was often dominant in the outing, racking up 18 whiffs en route to a season-high strikeout total. The veteran righty completed seven innings for the second time this season and recorded his third quality start. The only runs the Angels mustered against Severino on Thursday came on a two-run homer by Nolan Schanuel in the first inning, and the 32-year-old retired the final eight batters he faced. Severino has now allowed two or fewer runs in five of his past six starts, which has helped him lower his season ERA to 4.23. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus Seattle.

Severino (2-5) allowed five runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Casey Schmitt delivered two home runs and three RBI in this contest, accounting for the majority of the damage on Severino's line. This was a third straight loss for Severino, though it's the first one he's truly deserved in that span -- he had allowed just five runs in total over 24 innings across his previous four starts. The veteran right-hander is now at a 4.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 54:31 K:BB through 54.2 innings over 10 starts. He's projected for a road outing against the Angels in his next start, which is a favorable matchup.

Severino (2-4) took the loss against the Orioles on Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Severino limited the damage but lacked command overall, issuing four walks while generating only seven whiffs on 102 pitches. On the bright side, the 32-year-old has now yielded just five earned runs over his past four starts while completing at least five frames in seven straight outings. He'll carry a 4.07 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 47:29 K:BB across 48.2 innings into a home matchup against the Giants next weekend.
