Paxton (knee) threw a successful bullpen session Friday and could be on track to return at some point during the Yankees' upcoming road trip, which begins Monday, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton has missed two weeks with left knee inflammation, but his absence doesn't look likely to stretch much longer. It's not yet clear exactly when the Yankees expect him back.

Paxton (knee) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Friday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton said he felt fine after Tuesday's bullpen session, so he'll likely ramp things up Friday. If the southpaw continues to progress without any setbacks, he could be cleared to rejoin the big-league rotation without a rehab assignment.

Paxton (knee) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton was spotted wearing a knee brace during his latest throwing session, and he'll continue to wear the brace moving forward. The southpaw said he did feel something in his knee during the bullpen, per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network, but that it wasn't anything like the pain he'd experienced before. The date of his next throwing session will likely depend on how he feels Wednesday morning.

Manager Aaron Boone said Paxton (knee) may not require a rehab appearance before rejoining the Yankees, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton is currently on the IL with left knee inflammation, though he's been playing catch recently with no issues and is scheduled to resume mound work Tuesday. If the left-hander experiences no setbacks during his series of upcoming bullpen and side sessions, it sounds like he could be cleared to rejoin the big-league rotation without reporting to a minor-league affiliate for a tuneup start beforehand. General manager Brian Cashman stated earlier in the month that Paxton, who landed on the IL on May 4, isn't expected to stay on the shelf longer than three weeks, barring setbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton has experienced no issues with his bothersome left knee since resuming throwing over the weekend, clearing the way for him to progress to mound work Tuesday. General manager Brian Cashman previously suggested that Paxton wouldn't spend more than three weeks on the shelf, and given the southpaw's progress thus far, he appears to be on track for that timetable, barring setbacks.

Paxton (knee) will resume playing catch Friday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton has been shut down from throwing since landing on the injured list and receiving a cortisone injection last Saturday. The 30-year-old is dealing with left knee inflammation and said he currently isn't experiencing any soreness. General manager Brian Cashman previously indicated Paxton would spend a maximum of three weeks on the IL, and his relatively quick return to throwing should keep him on track for that timetable, assuming he avoids a setback.

General manager Brian Cashman said Sunday that Paxton (knee) will remain on the 10-day injured list for three weeks at a maximum, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton required a cortisone shot Saturday and will be barred from activity for 5-to-7 days while he waits for the shot to alleviate the inflammation in his left knee. Assuming the injection has the desired effect, Paxton should resume a throwing program thereafter, which would set him up for a relatively brief stay on the IL. Cashman said that Jonathan Loaisiga would be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Paxton's spot in the rotation, with Loaisiga's first turn expected to come Wednesday versus the Mariners at home.

Paxton (knee) received a cortisone shot Saturday and will be shut down for 5-7 days, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear how much time the lefty will need to build back up after being shut down, but he may wind up missing more than one start. Jonathan Loaisiga will take his place in the rotation.

Paxton was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left knee inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

The team has not yet provided a clear timetable for when Paxton could return to game action, but the hope is that it will be a short stay on the IL. Manager Aaron Boone said Paxton is still feeling sore but didn't have any swelling Saturday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. The earliest Paxton would be able to return would be May 14. Jake Barrett was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Jonathan Loaisiga, who is at Triple-A, and Luis Cessa, who is in the big-league bullpen, seem like the two most likely options to take Paxton's rotation spot in the short term.

Paxton, who exited Friday's game with left knee soreness, doesn't believe the issue will result in a long-term absence, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. "It's frustrating, but I'm not real worried that it's going to be something long-term," the southpaw said. "I think it's going to be a pretty quick fix. I'm looking forward to finding out what's going on."

EDGE Analysis

Paxton has apparently been dealing with soreness in his left knee throughout the season, though Friday was apparently the first time the issue affected his ability to pitch. The hope is that Paxton's knee was simply sore on what was a damp night, though more won't be known until after he undergoes further testing Saturday.
