James Paxton was the Yankees’ biggest pitching acquisition of the offseason. So far, it’s hard to say he’s played like it. While his first start for the Yankees went well, his next two starts - a 5.1-inning, four-earned-run effort against the Orioles on April 4th, and a four-inning, five-run clunker against the Astros on April 10th - were short of satisfactory. It’s just three starts, but Paxton’s season ERA now sits at a round 6.00. Coupled with the Yankees’ frustratingly slow start as a team, it’s been pretty unpleasant to watch.
James Paxton doesn’t need much to get back on track for the Yankees
