Tosses simulated game Paxton threw a two-inning sim game Sunday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Impact On the second day of team workouts, Paxton threw to teammates Gary Sanchez, Miguel Andujar and Tyler Wade, striking out each batter at least once. The outing -- Paxton's first on a dirt mound since undergoing back surgery in February -- is another indication that the southpaw is good to go heading into the regular season. "Felt good, felt healthy," Paxton declared. "It was a good first step for me."

Yankees starter James Paxton 'back to full strength,' ready for season The pause on baseball activities certainly helped the Yankees as James Paxton continued his recovery from back surgery.

MAY 24, 2020 • YARDBARKER.COM

Returns to full strength Paxton will be ready to go when the 2020 season begins and is working on increasing the spin rate on his fastball, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Paxton indicated that he has thrown 12-14 bullpen sessions since beginning his recovery from February back surgery and confirmed that he will be "ready to go as soon as the season comes about." Some of Paxton's bullpens have included simulated innings with batters standing in so that the southpaw can gain a feel for the strike zone, according to Ackert. Paxton also indicated that he is experimenting with his fastball grip in an effort to increase his spin rate. With the back issue now behind him, Paxton should slot into the No. 2 or No. 3 spot in the Yankees' Opening Day rotation.

Impact Paxton had already been making rapid progress during spring training after requiring the procedure in early February to remove a peridiscal cyst, and MLB's ongoing hiatus has only provided more time for him to heal up without having to miss any game action. After checking out fine following five bullpen sessions, Paxton was cleared to pitch a simulated game Monday, which likely marks one of the final checkpoints he'll need to clear in the recovery process. He should be a part of the Yankees' Opening Day rotation and face no workload restrictions whenever the season resumes.
