The Yankees on Wednesday announced that left-handed starter James Paxton will be sidelined for the next three to four months after undergoing back surgery. According to the team, Paxton underwent microscopic lumbar discectomy with removal of a peridiscal cyst, and the surgery was performed by Dr. Andrew Dossett in Dallas.

DFA Eric Cressey.

At first I was like, 3-4 months? WTH? That means he’ll be back in August????

Then I remembered it’s only February so he might be back in May.
