Before spring training was officially canceled, the New York Yankees announced that James Paxton would likely miss at least the first two months of the regular season.
With the 31-year-old hurler recovering from offseason back surgery, the start of his 2020 campaign was likely destined to be delayed until May at the earliest.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Opening Day has been pushed back and Major League Baseball could resume their operations sometime this summer. If and when baseball returns, Paxton should be healthy and ready for the start of the season.
