Boston Red Sox left-hander James Paxton (hamstring) made a minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Worcester on Friday and allowed two runs on two hits while walking five and striking out four in five innings of work. It wasn't the sharpest outing, but it could be Paxton's final rehab appearance before making his 2023 debut for the Red Sox in the big leagues. Through five appearances (four starts) for Worcester during his rehab, the 34-year-old southpaw allowed 14 runs (13 earned) on 16 hits (two homers) while walking 11 and striking out 22 in 16 2/3 innings. Paxton has always had decent strikeout upside in his left arm, but injuries have really made him an unreliable fantasy asset in recent seasons. Let's see if he can stay healthy for the remainder of 2023.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Boston Red Sox moved left-hander James Paxton (calf) to the 60-day injured list on Friday, likely ending his season due to a partial calf tear. The Red Sox also selected the contract of left-hander Joely Rodriguez from Triple-A Worcester and optioned right-hander Greg Weissert to Worcester in other moves. The 35-year-old Paxton was initially placed on the 15-day IL on Aug. 12, but even at that time, it was pretty obvious that he wasn't going to have enough time to make a return in 2024. Paxton began the year with the Los Angeles Dodgers and made 18 starts with them. He's gone 9-3 this year but with a 4.40 ERA (4.79 FIP), a 1.44 WHIP and a 73:50 K:BB in 100 1/3 innings over 21 starts. Not only has his strikeout rate dropped under 20% this year, but he's also sporting a career-worst 11.4% walk rate. Fantasy managers holding him in deeper leagues can let go.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox left-hander James Paxton (calf) has a partially torn right calf and is running out of time to be able to pitch again this year for the Red Sox. Given Paxton's long history of injuries and reputation as a slow healer, it would be almost a miracle to see him back in the big leagues again in 2024. The 35-year-old veteran southpaw did go 9-3 this year with the Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers, but everything else was mostly a disappointment, especially his career-low 16.7% strikeout rate and 11.4% walk rate in 21 total starts covering 100 1/3 innings pitched. Fantasy managers that have him rostered in redraft leagues should let go at this point. Either Josh Winckowski or Cooper Criswell will likely step into Paxton's rotation spot in Boston moving forward.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Boston Red Sox placed left-hander James Paxton (calf) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a right-calf strain and reinstated right-hander Brayan Bello from the paternity list in a corresponding move amid a flurry of roster moves to begin the new week. The oft-injured Paxton had to be helped off the field on Sunday during his start against the Houston Astros and is likely going to need more than two weeks to heal up. The 35-year-old veteran southpaw will be eligible to return from the IL on Aug. 27. He's gone 9-3 in 2024 but with a 4.40 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and only 73 K's in 21 starts with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Red Sox. The Canadian southpaw won't be back in Boston's starting rotation until some time in September.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher James Paxton (calf) is dealing with a right-calf strain, according to Rob Bradford of Audacy Sports. The southpaw left Sunday's game in the first inning after suffering the injury. He was seen limping off the field and needed assistance on the dugout stairs. While the 35-year-old does not have a timeline, he could be expected to miss several weeks of action. Prior to the injury, he held a 4.42 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP with a 73:50 BB:K through 99 innings of work on the year with the Dodgers and Red Sox. If Paxton were to be out of the rotation for an extended period, Cooper Criswell would likely reclaim a starting role.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
