Double-A Somerset placed Selvidge on its 7-day injured list July 23 with an unspecified injury.
Selvidge hadn't pitched since July 6 and wasn't available for the All-Star Futures Game before Somerset opted to deactivate him two and a half weeks later. The left-hander has made 16 starts for Somerset this season, logging a 4.25 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 83:40 K:BB in 84.2 innings.

Yankees' Brock Selvidge: Jumps to Double-A
Rotowire
Selvidge will begin the season with Double-A Somerset, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
Selvidge, a 21-year-old lefty with a projectable 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame, was excellent at Single-A and High-A last season, but he only made nine starts at High-A, so this assignment was a nice vote of confidence by the Yankees. While Selvidge's 93-mph fastball is a middling pitch, his cutter and slider are very strong secondary offerings and he had a 6.5 percent walk rate last season.
