Another day behind the wheel, more time for thoughts about how to shape up today’s FanDuel column.

James Paxton Throws Again On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (forearm) threw again on Wednesday but won’t progress to throwing from a mound until this weekend at the earliest, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Wednesday’s performance extended Gardner’s hitless streak to four games, and he’s now gone without a hit in 23 of his 36 games this season.

Masahiro Tanaka Takes Second Loss Of Season

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka took his second loss of the season on Sunday after allowing four runs (two earned) over 5.1 innings against the Orioles.
