ST. PETERBURG, Fla, (AP) — New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino said it was “unnecessary” that the team decided to have him pitch in a controlled minor league intrasquad game on Friday and not in a game with Class A Tampa.Severino has been on the 15-day injured list since the start of the regular season with a right lat strain. He had been originally scheduled to start Wednesday in a Florida State League game. It was first moved to Thursday before being canceled.“I think it was unnecessary not throw in Low-A, but I do whatever they tell me to do,” Severino said on Sunday before the Yankees played at the Tampa Bay Rays. “I just want to go there and try to build my pitch count to where I feel comfortable, and I can come back sooner.”Severino ended up throwing 40 pitches at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida, in the camp game and felt “pretty good” afterward.“I know they want the best for me, but I’m one step closer now and hopefully I’ll be back on the field...

MIAMI — The difference was there on Saturday. Obvious to the eye.Jimmy Butler, a competitor and clutch performer at his core, returning from an ankle injury, embracing and enjoying the moment, carrying the Miami Heat because victory was non-negotiable.Smart, deliberate, winning basketball.On the other side was New York’s All-Star, Julius Randle, settling for difficult shots and misfiring, moving at ¾ speed on defense and carrying the posture of a player ready for Cabo.The Game 3 blowout loss ended for Randle, fittingly, with a missed 3-pointer and a South Beach stroll back on defense, allowing Miami’s Cody Zeller to leak out for a breakaway dunk. Randle was immediately subbed out and his latest playoff dud was complete: 10 points, 4-of-15 shooting, four turnovers and two assists.At the risk of invading Captain Obvious’s turf, the Knicks need more from Randle. They got through the first round because Jalen Brunson was brilliant, Mitchell Robinson dominate...
