KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Yankees hope to have James Paxton back in the rotation this week, but Aaron Boone acknowledged Sunday the left-hander may have to deal with discomfort the rest of the season.
“I don’t know,” Boone said when asked if Paxton would be able to get rid of the soreness near his MCL that sent him to the injured list. “We’ll see. We hope it’s something that when he comes back and is pitching, it’s something that continues to improve over time. There is the possibility it could be one of those things he’s got to grind through.
