Seattle’s fourth rounder in 2010, Paxton has struggled with injuries in his career to date, but he’s going to throw a simulated game on Tuesday, so should return from his finger woe very shortly.

Another stellar keeper league option (those of you playing out the string in the second half should still pay attention to the future, and don’t worry — we won’t forget about your needs), Judge is a prospect that the Yankees are refusing to part with at the trade deadline.
