EDGE Analysis

The left-hander actually finished the bullpen session in the rain and said he felt fine in the aftermath Saturday. Manager Scott Servais mentioned that Paxton relayed to him he'd gotten a bit fatigued toward the end of his workload, but that he didn't feel it would hinder him from taking the hill against Oakland on Monday.
