\n James Paxton had lower back surgery in early February and two rough outings since the season got underway. Following Sunday night\u2019s game<\/a> against the Red Sox in which the lefty gave up five runs (three earned) and seven hits in three innings, Paxton said he was \u201cconcerned\u2019\u2019 about a dip in velocity.<\/p>\n

Aaron Boone said the problem isn\u2019t related to the pitcher\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pretty confident it is not physical. I feel like he is healthy\u2019\u2019 Boone said of Paxton, who didn\u2019t make it out of the second inning in his first start against the Nationals. \u201cWe do feel like physically he is sound. All the behind-the-scenes tests we do as far as measuring strength and output and everything it is very similar to what it has been his entire career.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Even before hitters finished with an MLB record 6,776 homers last year there was talk the baseball would change this season. That, according to J.A. Happ<\/a>\u2019s eyes, hasn\u2019t happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem like, it seems like we are dealing with the same baseball,\u2019\u2019 said Happ, who had been scheduled to start Tuesday against the Phillies before that game was postponed. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel a difference over the last couple of years. I just saw a difference. The baseball in my hand I am not feeling much change.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Happ, 37, is in his 14th big-league season and gave up a career-high 34 homers in 2019 which was seven more than he allowed in 2018. This year the lefty has given up two homers in four innings during his only start Thursday against the Orioles.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Left-handed hitters Tyler Wade and Mike Ford were in the Yankees\u2019 lineup at short and first base, respectively, against Phillies right-hander Jake Arrieta.<\/p>\n

According to Boone, regular shortstop Gleyber Torres was getting a day off and was OK physically. As for Mike Ford, the manager was looking for more punch from the left side.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust wanted to get another lefty in there,\u2019\u2019 said Boone, who started Ford at first for the second time.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Aroldis Chapman went to the Yankees\u2019 satellite camp in Scranton on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe he is throwing [Monday] and I think he is scheduled [for] his first bullpen [Tuesday] or Wednesday,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

Per MLB\u2019s protocol rules players Chapman had to go to Scranton.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn-season returning from the [coronavirus] you have to do your rehab there,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

According to Luis Cessa the Yankees assigned to the satellite camp in Scranton have two things on their mind: staying safe and rejoining the big-league club.<\/p>\n

Cessa, who is on the COVID-19 injured list after testing positive before the start of spring training 2.0 and then having two tests come back negative, is throwing at the Yankees\u2019 Trip<\/a>le-A facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now the key is to stay safe. Everybody has their distance. We use both clubhouses. We use the mask all the time and we work in groups of 10,\u2019\u2019 the right-hander said via Zoom on Monday. \u201cRight now the key is to try and stay safe.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Near the end of spring training 2.0 those who didn\u2019t get put on the 30-man big-league roster reported to Scranton. And with no minor league games the pitchers have faced hitters.<\/p>\n

One of the familiar faces Cessa has pitched to is Clint Frazier.<\/p>\n

\u201cI faced [Frazier] a couple of times. We face all the guys and he looks good. I think he looks ready,\u2019\u2019 said Cessa, who has thrown three live sessions. \u201cEverybody here is waiting for the opportunity to come back [to the Yankees]. I think Clint looks good.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

When Cessa was cleared to begin working out he was fatigued for the first few days. But after that he said the post-workout tiredness left his body and he felt much better.<\/p>\n

As for a timetable to return to the Yankees, Cessa is waiting for the call after his last outing two days ago consisted of 40 pitches.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Pitching coach]Matt [Blake], Cash and Boone are making a decision right now. I am just waiting,\u2019\u2019 Cessa said. \u201cI am just waiting for the decision and stay healthy and be ready.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Boone said \u201cI would expect that to be pretty soon\u2019\u2019 when asked if Cessa would join the Yankees soon.<\/p>\n

Following Monday night\u2019s 6-3 win over the Phillies the Yankees optioned Brooks Kriske to their satellite camp. That likely clears the way for Cessa\u2019s return.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
