Slated to be No. 2 starter Paxton will start the Yankees' second regular-season contest, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Aaron Boone confirmed Wednesday that Paxton will follow ace Gerrit Cole in the rotation for the team's season-opening series against the Nationals. The announcement comes as little surprise, especially considering Masahiro Tanaka's (concussion) questionable readiness for the start of the season. Paxton tossed his first intrasquad game of summer camp Wednesday, giving up home runs to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, but otherwise looked sharp with five strikeouts over four innings.

Bullpen scheduled for Thursday Tanaka (concussion) will throw a bullpen session Thursday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Tanaka was the victim of a line drive to the head off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton back on July 4, but he escaped with merely a mild concussion and has been symptom-free since being discharged from the hospital that evening. It's certainly positive news that he'll be back on the mound Thursday, though the lost time seems likely to prevent him from handling a full workload in his first few starts of the season.

Tuesday's Sports in Brief

JULY 15, 2020 • Associated Press

Participates in baserunning drills Stanton took part in baserunning drills with the Yankees on Tuesday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Stanton battled a calf injury in spring training but reportedly feels back to full health. Per Kuty, the slugger was able to move from second base to home plate without incident Tuesday, further suggesting that the calf is no longer an issue. Still, Stanton is slated to open the season in a DH-only role as the team looks to play it safe following an injury-riddled 2019 campaign.

Remains symptom-free Tanaka continues to feel no concussion symptoms and hopes to throw a bullpen session soon, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tanaka was struck in the head by a liner off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton back on July 4 and was rushed to the hospital, but he escaped with merely a mild concussion and hasn't felt any symptoms since being discharged that day. The lost practice time will likely impact his workload early in the season, though the amount of pitches he throws in his next bullpen session should give a clearer idea of where he stands.

Plays catch Saturday Tanaka (concussion) played catch on the field at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though Tanaka has yet to progress to throwing off a mound, Saturday's brief catch session is another positive indication that the right-hander is feeling fine after being struck on the head by a line drive off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton on Independence Day. With Opening Day less than two weeks away, it remains to be seen whether Tanaka will be fully stretched out -- or available at all -- at the start of the campaign.
