The New York Yankees are the walking wounded once again this spring. The rotation has been hit especially hard, but lefty starter James Paxton appears to be making excellent progress after undergoing surgery to remove a peridiscal cyst earlier in February.
Manager Aaron Boone spoke to the YES Network broadcast during the Yankees’ first spring training game. From what Boone is saying, the outlook is quite positive for Paxton.

“As far as [Paxton], we feel really good about where he is,” Boone said on Saturday.
