New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (elbow, back) is reportedly fully healthy and back to normal, according to agent Scott Boras. Given that Paxton is a client of Boras and will be a free agent this offseason, Boras's claims can be taken with a grain of salt, and fantasy managers should be reluctant to trust Paxton's health until he can clear a physical for teams. Paxton underwent back surgery last offseason and struggled with diminished velocity and a 6.64 ERA over 20.1 innings this...

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (forearm) played catch on Tuesday and could pitch for the team towards the end of the postseason, according to manager Aaron Boone. Paxton has been sidelined since August 20 with a strained forearm flexor, and the 31-year-old had struggled with diminished velocity and a 6.64 ERA through five starts before landing on the injured list. Its not clear if Paxton will have enough time to build his workload up for a full-length start this postseason and ...

New York Yankees left-handed pitcher James Paxton (elbow) was moved to the clubs 45-day injured list prior to Wednesdays contest against Toronto. Paxton had sustained a setback on the comeback trail, necessitating an additional shutdown. His transfer to the extended IL all but ends his regular season fantasy outlook, as the best-case scenario now likely involves a potential postseason return in an abbreviated role. Paxton is set to become a free agent at seasons end, and a departure from Yankee ...

New York Yankees starter James Paxton (elbow) has not resumed a throwing program yet. Paxton, who has not appeared in a game since August 21, has been dealing with a Grade 1 flexor strain in his elbow. He felt lingering soreness after completing a bullpen session last week and has not approached the mound since. With each passing day, it looks more likely that Paxton will be unable to return in any capacity for the remainder of the campaign.

New York Yankees left-handed pitcher James Paxton is what manager Aaron Boone describes as a little sore after throwing his most recent session Wednesday. That soreness will force him to sit at least the next few days, further clouding his timeline for a potential return prior to the start of the postseason. Fantasy managers hanging onto Paxton with the hopes of getting another regular season start can likely begin looking elsewhere, as the flexor strain in his left forearm is likely to prevent...

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (forearm) threw again on Wednesday but wont progress to throwing from a mound until this weekend at the earliest, according to manager Aaron Boone. Paxton has been playing catch, but the 31-year-old will require at least a couple of bullpen sessions before returning to the team. The Yankees are hopeful that Paxton can make at least one start before the end of the regular season, but fantasy players should expect the pitcher to remain sidelined ...

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (elbow) began throwing on Thursday and hopes to make at least one or two starts before the end of the regular season. Paxton had been struggling this season before landing on the injured list with a flexor strain, and his fastball velocity was unusually low and a cause for concern. Its possible (though unlikely) that Paxton regains his velocity with rest and rehab from his most recent stint on the injured list, and fantasy players should pay close ...

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (elbow) was officially placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday, retroactive to Aug. 21. The move came as no surprise, as Paxton has been shut down from throwing for the next two weeks at least, and it seems likely that the 31-year-old will miss most, if not all, of the rest of the regular season. Jonathan Loaisiga came into the season slated to take over if any Yankees starters missed time, but Michael King has emerged as a legitimate option as ...

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (elbow) will not throw for 14 days, according to manager Aaron Boone. Paxton left his start on Thursday early with elbow discomfort, and although hes avoided Tommy John surgery, his elbow issue is likely to keep him out for most if not all of the rest of this season. The Yankees havent decided who will start in Paxtons place yet, but Jonathan Loaisiga came into the season as the most likely fill-in starter, and Michael King and Nick Nelson are ...

The New York Yankees will officially be without shortstop Gleyber Torres and left-handed pitcher James Paxton for at least the next 10 days as both were placed on the injured list Friday. Torres has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of both his left quad and hamstring, while Paxton has a Grade 1 strain of his left forearm flexor. It appears that Paxton will be sidelined longer than the required 10 days, but Torres may benefit from the clubs weekend series against the Mets having been ...
