“#Yankees starter Luis Severino’s live BP session delayed<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2014 Luis Severino had been scheduled to throw live batting practice Wednesday, but the Yankees said the right-hander woke up with a stiff back, so it was pushed back a day. It would have been Severino\u2019s first live BP in his comeback from last year\u2019s Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n

He may face top prospect Jasson Dominguez when he does throw at the team\u2019s player development complex in Tampa. The 18-year-old Dominguez, in extended spring training after the organization opted not to place him with a team to start the minor league season, worked in center field Wednesday and had a single, double and stolen base.<\/p>\n

Dominguez is expected to play in actual game<\/a>s at some point this summer, perhaps first in the Gulf Coast League, which starts June 28, before moving to Low-A Tampa, which began its season a week ago.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Dominguez\u2019s] at-bats are very mature and physically he\u2019s very mature,\u2019\u2019 said Mario Garza, the Yankees\u2019 coordinator of baseball development, who is serving as the first base coach while Reggie Willits stays away from the team with COVID-19. \u201cHis offensive capability [stands out], and his [batter\u2019s] box presence. \u2026 He app<\/a>ears to recognize pitches early. There\u2019s no panic in the box. I think the sky\u2019s the limit for him offensively.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Garza was on his way to the minor league complex Tuesday when he got word he might be needed on the major league staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a very busy last couple days,\u2019\u2019 Garza said. \u201cVery surprising. It\u2019s tough circumstances, but we\u2019re trying to make the best of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He could stay with the Yankees on the next leg of the road trip<\/a>, which begins Friday in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

Garza is in his 11th season with the Yankees, and Tuesday was his first game in the majors.<\/p>\n

With Gleyber Torres already out of the lineup while awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test, the Yankees also lost Clint Frazier to an ejection during their 1-0 win over the Rays.<\/p>\n

After Giancarlo Stanton disagreed with a low third strike call by home plate umpire Bill Miller in the fourth inning, Frazier was tossed as he argued a borderline third strike in the fifth. It was the first ejection of Frazier\u2019s career. He was replaced by Brett Gardner.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were playing a man short, [so] it\u2019s not ideal,\u2019\u2019 manager Aaron Boone said of Frazier\u2019s ejection.<\/p>\n

Aaron Hicks was back in the lineup and in center field after missing Tuesday\u2019s game with a bruised shin he suffered when he fouled a ball off it in Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Hicks\u2019 sacrifice fly produced the only run in Wednesday\u2019s win and he acknowledged he was still dealing with the injury.<\/p>\n
