The ice pack on James Paxton’s left knee was as bulbous as a watermelon and just as cumbersome as he hobbled across the clubhouse Sunday morning. The Yankees hurler plopped down on a couch in front of the high-definition televisions and began following his doctor’s orders: rest. But like so many other Yankees this season, Paxton is on the sidelines hoping for a speedy recovery, wondering what went wrong. But the knee had never been a problem for Paxton, at least not before he made four starts in the Bronx in 2019. It’s only a hypothesis, but the Yankees seem willing to indulge Paxton.
