Mariners expect James Paxton (forearm) to be back by end of month

The Seattle Mariners hope that starting pitcher James Paxton (forearm) will be ready to rejoin their rotation in two weeks during their series in Boston against the Red Sox.

What It Means:

Paxton threw on Thursday for the first time since he was placed on the disabled list with a strained left forearm. There's no guarantee that he'll be back by the end of the month, but that's the expectation for now.

The 28-year-old southpaw was off to a promising start with a 3-0 record, 1.43 ERA, 1.53 FIP, 0.98 WHIP and 30.0 strikeout percentage in 37 2/3 innings pitched this season.
