Mariners pitcher James Paxton is expected to need three to four more weeks until he's fully recovered from a lat, the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Paxton appears to be headed for a return around the All-Star break after being sidelined for most of the season with the injury. He's 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA and 13:2 K:BB ratio in 12 innings over two starts.
