Paxton out 3-4 months after surgery:

New York Yankees pitcher James Paxton will be out for 3-4 months, according to the Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman, after having back surgery. Paxton was supposed to be the number 3 starter for the Yankees. Paxton underwent a microscopic lumbar discectomy and also had a peridiscal cyst removed. Dr. Andrew Dossett in Dallas performed the surgery. According to Cashman, Paxton started having some back problems at the end of the past season but responded well to treatment until a setback last month.
