Paxton has been confirmed as Thursday's starter against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Paxton was activated off the disabled list earlier Thursday after missing just over two weeks with an elbow injury, and the team has now made it official that he'll start Thursday's tilt against Chicago. The lefty is coming off a pair of strong outings before landing on the DL, allowing just two runs (one earned) over 16.1 innings in his last two starts.
