    Mariners' Hisashi Iwakuma Shut Down for 4-6 Weeks.

    He has a strained tendon in his right (throwing) hand. He will not be ready for opening day, which is a shame after becoming one of the league's best second starters last season.

    I think it is silly for MLB to schedule those games in Australia so early, those teams actually have a few more exhibition games after those two regular season games.

    The Dodgers then also play the next regular season game in the Sunday Night Baseball opener on March 30. The rest of the league starts Monday, March 31 except for the Yankees and Houston, who open Tuesday.

    Randy Wolf to the rescue!

    Actually not bad to put a softer throwing lefty at #2 after Felix, then just plug Iwakuma in when ready.

    Just another team that spent a ton of money that will implode by mid-season and will be looking to dump salary by July 31st

    Hisashi Iwakuma was great for my fantasy teams last year, the hand injury makes it a little scary to take him, but I might pick him up if I can get him cheap.

    Interesting thought. If I were TB, I'd look to do this more towards the trade deadline. TB has a shot this year IMO, I wouldn't trade price just yet.

    For the Ms, he's gonna want a ton of money. I wouldn't trade Walker for a SP I'd only have for one year. I'd lean towards "no", but that will be a fun rumor to track as we go along.

    i didnt make it up i actually read that somewhere...

    i think the Mariners are very hesitant to trade Taijuan Walker.. some teams are also interested in 1B Justin Smoak

    Taijuan Walker (shoulder) reported feeling "great" after throwing a bullpen session on Monday morning.

    Walker showed up to Mariners camp with soreness in his right shoulder, but he rested for a week and is now back on the right track. The 21-year-old top prospect threw 25 pitches on Monday and should be ready for live action when the Cactus League schedule begins. He has a good shot at claiming Seattle's fifth starter spot and will be worth drafting in nearly every standard mixed fantasy league if he indeed makes the team.

    Drafted a team yesterday and he went in the 8th round(12 teams). Not a big enough discount considering he could be out until mid April. He will have to drop a bit further for me to take a chance on him.

    highly doubt the Cardinals would be interested considering they have Adams who is almost the same player but maybe better.

    Hisashi Iwakuma will see a doctor Friday for an update on the status of his strained middle finger.

    Iwakuma is hoping to be cleared to throw, but it's probably a little too early for that. The right-hander was diagnosed on February 12 with a strained tendon in the middle finger of his throwing hand and prescribed 4-6 weeks of rest. He is not expected to join the Mariners' starting rotation until mid-to-late April. "We'll keep our fingers crossed, no pun intended," manager Lloyd McClendon said Thursday in camp.
