Luis Severino placed on injured list with right shoulder strain

Athletics right-hander Luis Severino was placed on the injured list Saturday, one day after a sore right arm forced him to exit a game after just one inning. The right shoulder strain raises concerns about the pitcher's availability for the remainder of the season.

The team is closely monitoring Severino's recovery timeline, with no clear return date announced yet. His absence opens the door for younger arms to step into the rotation and prove themselves at the major league level.
