In 2005, Pavano began the season with quality starts in seven of his first 10 appearances, compiling a 4-2 record and a 3.69 ERA. However, in June of that year, he injured his right shoulder and went on the disabled list. Pavano made 17 starts and finished 4-6 with a 4.77 ERA. Pavano only has 5 wins since joining the Yankees over 2 years ago. The Yankees expected him to be healthy for the 2006 season, but Pavano began the season on the disabled list after bruising his buttocks in a spring training game. He did not pitch at all in the majors in 2006, making only minor league rehab starts. On August 15, 2006, he broke two ribs in an automobile accident. However, he didn't tell the Yankees until August 28, the day they informed him that they planned for him to come off the disabled list to play that Thursday.^[1] He was one of a handful of candidates competing for a spot in the Yankees' 2007 starting rotation.

After ace Chien-Ming Wang injured his right hamstring during late spring training, the Yankees chose Pavano to start on Opening Day on April 2, 2007 against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Yankee Stadium. On April 9, 2007, Pavano earned his first victory of the 2007 season by pitching 7 strong innings and allowing 2 earned runs against the Minnesota Twins. On April 15, 2007, Pavano was placed on the 15-day DL with what was described as an "elbow strain" after making just two starts on the season. On May 23rd 2007, it was reported that Pavano will opt for Tommy John surgery in his elbow. With the standard recovery time for such surgery being 12-18 months, it is unlikely that Pavano will pitch again for New York.
