Paxton (forearm) is not expected to undergo surgery after getting good news from an MRI on Friday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Paxton has struggled this season, posting a 6.64 ERA through his first five starts while experiencing a drop in velocity. He experienced discomfort in his forearm and elbow area during his previous outing Thursday against the Rays, but the Yankees believe the issue to be a muscular one and not something which would require surgery.
