EDGE Analysis

It sounds like Paxton will enter summer camp without any major restrictions after undergoing a microscopic lumbar discectomy in early February. This is not a huge surprise as the lefty was said to be back to full strength more than a month ago, though it's still nice to get confirmation. Hopefully we will get word from the Yankees as to how deep into games they will allow their starters to go the first few times through the rotation.
