Paxton will pitch in a second simulated game Tuesday, which would normally be his day in the rotation, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton has yet to make his spring debut, but his delay in jumping into game action is unrelated to any health issue. Rather, the left-hander has been looking to refine some secondary pitches, and Kramer adds that the team is also opting to have him get his work in sim games for the moment "due to scheduling and logistics purposes."
