James Paxton Will Start Thursday Against Angels
6 years agoSeattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton will start Thursday against the Angels. This was originally Felix Hernadez' spot. Hernandez (back) was recently placed on the 10-day disabled list and may miss through the All-Star break. The Mariners have said that Friday's start, which was originally Paxton's, will be a spot-start from a call-up rather than a bullpen day. Paxton will still be pitching on normal rest due to the off-day the Mariners had on Monday. Paxton has had a great first-half to 2018, posting a 3.41 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and a K:BB of 154:33 across 118 2/3 innings. He should be in all lineups Thursday.
