2 years agoBoston Red Sox left-hander James Paxton (elbow) threw a 17-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday, consisting of all fastballs, after his 10-pitch session on June 11. Paxton's next bullpen will be on June 18, and he expects to increase to 20 pitches. "I felt good," Paxton said. "Just getting the timing and rhythm back, but other than that, no issues. I'm going in the right direction. Obviously, I've got more bullpens to go and a long way to go still, but happy with the direction we are going with right now." The 33-year-old veteran was delayed this spring due to posterior left elbow soreness in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, but as long as he doesn't have any more setbacks, he should be an option for Boston's starting rotation at some point in the second half of the season.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
