Instead of heading into the All-Star break with a ton of confidence and a head of steam, the Mariners are sort of limping through these last few weeks of the first half. Losing the series to the Angels yesterday is less concerning than the injury James Paxton suffered in his abbreviated start. Luckily, he has a while to heal up before the Mariners need to call on him again (the same goes for Félix). At this point, the Mariners would be happy to just get to the All-Star break to earn some much needed rest.
