Paxton (forearm) threw on flat ground at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.
This is the first report of Paxton throwing since he was shut down following a setback Sept. 9. The left-hander could theoretically help out in the postseason if he is able to progress over the next few weeks, though such a scenario is unlikely given that Paxton has not pitched off a mound in over a month. He compiled only 20.1 innings overall this season, registering a 6.64 ERA and 1.48 WHIP.
