Manager Scott Servais said Friday that he's hoping Paxton (forearm) can return during the team's next road trip, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There had previously been some hope that Paxton could return during the upcoming homestand, but Servais is now looking at the end of May as a "realistic expectation" for the lefty's activation. Seattle begins its next road trip May 23 at Washington, with three games at Boston and two at Colorado to follow. Paxton played catch Thursday for the first time since landing on the DL.
