Fantasy Impact
He still has some time go as he works his way back but Manager Aaron Boone had previously stated that Paxton could be available towards the end of the postseason, were the Yankees to get that far. The team will continue to monitor his progress as they begin the ALDS against division rival Tampa Bay on Monday.
