Fantasy Impact:

Paxton was placed on the IL earlier today with knee inflammation. It's a big blow to a New York rotation that is already without Luis Severino. The Yankees will update Paxton's status after this 5-7 day window. Jonathan Loaisiga is expected to take Paxton's spot in the rotation for now.
