James Paxton (SP - LAD)

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.
