James Paxton (back) will be able to start throwing in about 10 days, which puts him ahead of schedule in his rehab. (Marly Rivera on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Paxton had surgery to remove a cyst from his spine a couple of weeks ago. He was originally expected to be unable to throw for 5-7 weeks, but could wind up playing catch four weeks from his surgery. This is certainly good news but fantasy players shouldn't start overdrafting Paxton because of it.
