Mariners pitcher James Paxton (strained lat muscle) is just starting to throw again, "meaning he's likely at least several weeks from rejoining the Mariners if all goes well," reports MLB.com. "He's throwing, progressing, getting better," manager Lloyd McClendon said. "We'll get an update when we get home and see where he is."

Paxton was transferred to the 60-day DL, but it's merely a procedural move; he's already been out 60 days so he can return when ready.
