The Seattle Mariners will be getting back a key component in their rotation Thursday when James Paxton returns from a two-week hiatus to start against the Chicago White Sox. 

Paxton, 27, departed a start in early August after being hit be a comebacker. He's pitching to a 4-5 record with a 3.53 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 13 starts this season. Taking on a struggling White Sox lineup, Paxton could act as an under-the-radar DFS play.
