James Paxton Won't Pitch This Season

2 years agoBoston Red Sox left-hander James Paxton (elbow, lat) suffered a Grade 2 left lat strain after he faced just two hitters in his first minor league rehab start on Aug. 18, and he won't pitch in the majors in 2022. Boston holds a dual option on Paxton for the 2023 and 2024 seasons worth $13 million per season, and Paxton holds a $4 million player option. The 33-year-old southpaw was already attempting to come back from Tommy John surgery, so this is just yet another setback. There's a good chance the Red Sox will move on at this point. Paxton made just one start for the Seattle Mariners in 2021 and made just five starts for the New York Yankees in 2020 due to injuries, so he could be looking at an abrupt end to his career if he can't get healthy again soon.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
