Yankees' James Paxton: Exits start with tight glute

Paxton was removed after one inning Friday against Texas due to a left tight glute, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports. He gave up two runs on three hits and struck out one before exiting.

Paxton struggled early in his outing, and he was removed as a precaution after experiencing glute tightness. The southpaw wanted to continue pitching, but the Yankees shut him down for the night with the postseason approaching. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward and likely won't take the mound again until the playoffs.
