Paxton (elbow) will likely slot back into the Mariners' rotation later this week, MLB.com's Greg Johns reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton threw just three innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, but he did not run into any trouble and escaped the game without a setback, so it seems likely his next outing will come with the big club later this week. The Mariners' rotation this week is in flux, so it remains to be seen where exactly Paxton will jump in.
