Luis Severino to miss opener — and now Yankees cross fingers!

TAMPA — Luis Severino was stuffed into the Carl Pavano Memorial MRI tube before he could make his first exhibition start on Tuesday, and thanks to inflammation in his right rotator cuff, the Yankees ace won’t be available to face the Orioles on Opening Day in The Bronx.

Eleven days into the spring-training schedule, the Yankees don’t exactly know when Severino will reappear on a mound, which is uncomfortable.
