The New York Yankees simply can’t catch a break, considering the injuries that have occurred to limit their overall production and efficiency in 2020. Before spring training even began, the Yankees lost Luis Severino to Tommy John surgery and James Paxton to a cyst in his lower back. Severino will miss the entire year, but Paxton is reportedly healthy and ready to go for a 2020 regular season.
The last update on Paxton stated that he was throwing from 60-feet, and all went well for the lefty pitcher. While he threw just 25 balls, it’s a good start, and he should be well on his way toward starting the regular season in full capacity (March 11).
