Little Rock, AR - Seattle Mariners left-hander James Paxton will start on the mound tonight, Friday the 26th, for the Arkansas Travelers at Dickey-Stephens Park in the opener of a three game series against the Frisco RoughRiders.
Paxton will be appearing in his first game since being placed on the disabled list May 2 with a strained forearm. He opened the season not allowing a run in his first three starts which helped him garner the American League Player of the Week award for the week ending April 16.
