BOSTON -- Injured lefty James Paxton rejoined the Mariners on Sunday after making a rehab outing with Double-A Arkansas, and he said he's "on target and ready to roll" for Wednesday, when he'll be back in the rotation against the Rockies at Safeco Field.
Paxton will be the first of Seattle's four injured starters to return after missing four weeks with a strained left forearm. He gave up two runs in a four-inning outing Friday for Arkansas and then threw a bullpen session on Sunday at Fenway Park.
"It felt good," Paxton said of his 55-pitch rehab appearance.
