Confident Paxton gets call for Seattle in home opener (Yahoo Sports)

When James Paxton was coming up through the minors, he was part of a trio that was expected to be the future of the Seattle Mariners rotation. Paxton is the only one remaining with the Mariners after arm troubles stalled the career of Danny Hultzen and Taijuan Walker was traded in the offseason to Arizona. Paxton will get the call Monday when the Mariners open the home part of their schedule against the Houston Astros in desperate need of some good news after an ugly 1-6 road trip to start the season.
