4 years agoNew York Yankees left-handed pitcher James Paxton (elbow) was moved to the club’s 45-day injured list prior to Wednesday’s contest against Toronto. Paxton had sustained a setback on the comeback trail, necessitating an additional shutdown. His transfer to the extended IL all but ends his regular season fantasy outlook, as the best-case scenario now likely involves a potential postseason return in an abbreviated role. Paxton is set to become a free agent at season’s end, and a departure from Yankee Stadium could be a boon for his 2021 draft value.--Jesse Borek
