Latest On Stanton, Paxton Progress

By Jeff Todd | March 11, 2020 at 9:45am CDT

The Yankees have missed a few key players early in camp, but two were back on the field today, as MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch reports (links to Twitter). Both Giancarlo Stanton and James Paxton are participating in some baseball activities this morning.

Stanton, who has been nursing a calf injury, was able to take live batting practice today. Stepping in against a big-league hurler represents a notable step that seems to suggest there has been real progress.

The Yanks have already ruled Stanton out for Opening Day, but the hope has remained that he’ll be ready before the month of April is out. Today’s development buttresses that belief.

As for Paxton, he was throwing with teammates this morning. That’s a notable milestone — indeed, it’s the first time he has tossed a ball since undergoing a back procedure in mid-December.

It’s good to see Paxton back to baseball activities, but he still obviously has a ways to go. At this point, the southpaw says he views a mid-May return to the majors as a best-case outcome.

    Why use the word “buttresses” when everyone knows all the cool kids are saying “underpins” now.

    I like to drag Stanton for being hurt all the time, but the fact remains that he’s a hell of an offensive weapon when he does make it on the field. Here’s hoping that he’s able to do that for most of the season this year.

    If he’s taking bp and doing drills.. and running on a treadmill. He should be good to go early April. Someone who has some balls over there should tell this guy to stop crying about nagging aches and pains and play the game your paid to play at 30 mil a year. Hit the ball and catch the ball. If not. Ship him somewhere like Seattle or San Fran. New Yorkers expect more. Like I said before. Even arod played everyday.

      That’s the one thing I respected about ARod, he played almost every single day no complaining about minor aches and pains and no major injuries. Maybe the steroids helped his durability and recovery, but he really tried to live up to that contract. Nowadays players with big contracts miss so much time and seem like they dont care as much.

    The baseball gods refuse to let the Yankees be healthy, for many reasons. In fact, ever since Ohtani turned them down things have been downhill.

      Funny, because at the time the deal was done everyone said Jeter had given the Yankees a sweetheart deal, because all he got back was Starlin Castro. Now they criticize Cashman for doing the deal. My how times change.

        Baloney. San Diego,exceptional year round weather, incredible ballpark and nightlife. Stanton is a So-Cal native. The Padres have a great farm system and and a real solid team on the cusp of being competitive.

        Show me one player who wouldn’t find playing in beautiful San Diego a draw?

          When Stanton had a 4 team trade list in Miami, San Diego was not on it. Now he has a full no trade.

          Apparently Stanton himself didn’t want to play for San Diego as recently as 2017. He didn’t even want to play in San Fran. The only west coast team was the Dodgers. Did you miss all the info about his playing desires the last time he was traded? He picked 4 teams that he’d play for, Padres were not one of them.

      Stanton to the Padres for Eric Hosmer & $60M from the Yankees to San Diego. No MLB team is taking on Stanton’s full contract even if NY asks for nothing in return.

        The Yankees wouldn’t take the lesser player and then also pay the difference in the K price. Sure no one will take on Stanton’s full K, but same can be said about Hosmer. If the Yankees were to do this, it would mean that they have Hosmer for $168/6 ($28M aav) instead of Stanton at under $28M aav. No shot in my mind.

      Actually, the fact that Stanton is hitting and Paxton is pitching is news to those who can grasp it. As it is for all players progressing in their recovery from injury. AL East fans, AL fans, baseball fans in general, fantasy team owners, many recognize the newsworthiness of Stanton and Paxton’s progress on its face. Your failure to understand this is, given your history, unsurprising and, once again, laughable, because it is entirely driven by your childishly over-sized hater bias. You look like an idiot. Hmmm.
