\n After Masahiro Tanaka was struck in the head by a 112-mph line drive off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton during a simulated game<\/a> on July 4, there was no telling how the right-hander might be impacted \u2014 let alone when he would return to the mound.<\/p>\n

Yet there he was in the Yankees\u2019 5-2 win over the Red Sox on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Tanaka gave up two runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 in 2 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings, leaving after 51 pitches thanks to a pitch count.<\/p>\n

He tossed two scoreless innings before Boston got to him in the third and he looked effective for most of the brief outing, reaching 94 mph at times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he was really good,\u2019\u2019 Aaron Boone said. \u201cThe power was there with his fastball. That\u2019s as good a velocity as we\u2019ve seen on his fastball, really, in the last couple years.\u201d <\/p>\n

Tanaka, though, was discouraged by his lack of command, something he attributed to not having pitched in a competitive game since spring training in March.<\/p>\n

Third-string catcher Chris Ianneta was designated for assignment to make room on the roster after Tanaka was activated from the seven-day concussion injured list. <\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

James Paxton didn\u2019t retire a batter in the second inning in his first start of the season.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll take the mound again Sunday looking for better results and he\u2019s expecting some adjustments he\u2019s made since his season debut will help.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve looked at some video and it turned out my arm angle was low and I was bending over too far on my way to the plate,\u2019\u2019 Paxton said. \u201cI\u2019ve been working on my posture and standing up straighter and taller.\u201d<\/p>\n

That should allow him to throw his breaking balls more effectively.<\/p>\n

The Yankees have sizable expectations from the left-hander, who underwent back surgery in February but ended up not missing any time because of the delayed start to the regular season.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Gary Sanchez was back in the lineup Saturday after being given Friday off and Boone said he has \u201cnot a lot of concern\u201d about the catcher\u2019s slow start despite Sanchez entering Saturday 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Sanchez got his first hit of the season on a roller through the right side of the infield in the second and scored. <\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Luis Cessa was scheduled to pitch another simulated game Saturday and his return from coronavirus is expected \u201cin the next few days,\u201d according to Boone.<\/p>\n

Boone talked to him late in the week and the right-hander told him he felt \u201creally good and his stuff is what it normally is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

MLB announced the Yankees are scheduled to host the Phillies on Monday and Tuesday and visit Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday. The Yankees would then visit Tampa Bay for a four-game series<\/a> beginning on Friday, with a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday. Gerrit Cole is slated to start Monday and one of the games on Saturday- both of which would be seven innings thanks to the new rule regarding doubleheaders.<\/p>\n

With no fans in the stands, it\u2019s become a lot easier for opponents and other observers to hear what\u2019s being said on the field and in the dugouts. Boone created a stir a year ago with his \u201csavages in the box\u201d rant and was asked Saturday if the new environment had impacted what he said this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe a little bit,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cAs best you can, you try to be mindful of things. Believe it or not, I try to even be mindful of that in all situations. I\u2019m also gonna react honestly to what I see. You try to strike that balance of being mindful and respectful, but also intense on the game.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
