MLB Rumors: Red Sox starter James Paxtonās injury doesnāt sound any alarms
The Boston Red Soxās starting pitching woes are not getting any better. Pitcher James Paxton was yanked from Saturdayās game against the White Sox after four innings due to right knee soreness.
Paxton allowed one run and two hits and recorded three strikeouts; so far this season, heās compiled a 3.19 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in eight total appearances with the Red Sox.
The 34-year-old told reporters that he doesnāt believe his injury setback will prohibit him from making his next start, causing Red Sox fans to breathe a small sigh of relief.
Bostonās already depleted pitching rotation has seen Tanner Houck and Chris Sale land on the injured list, and as this rate, the Red Sox will be very desperate buyers at the trade deadline.
Paxton does have a somewhat troubling injury record, though the club and the player himself donāt seem too frazzled by todayās events.
