New York Yankees’ left-handed star James Paxton was removed from his start after one inning Friday night against the Texas Rangers. Ben Heller replaced Paxton’s start and manager Aaron Boone requested that Heller get more warmup tosses which could mean only one thing – Paxton suffered an injury.
James Paxton left tonight's game with a tight left glute. He was removed as a precaution.
