ARLINGTON, Texas — James Paxton and Felix Hernandez will make at least one more start at Safeco Field before the end of the 2018 season. And Paxton’s goal of making two starts in the final week is still a possibility.
The Mariners announced their probable starting pitchers for the penultimate series of the season vs. the A’s, which starts on Monday. Paxton, who has been sidelined since coming down with a combination of influenza and pneumonia, is slated to start on Monday.
Hernandez threw a 40-pitch bullpen before Saturday’s game to test his strained right hamstring. The session went well and he will start on Wednesday.
