Seattle Mariners pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing again as he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery.
Iwakuma is expected to resume throwing in a few days, but with all the setbacks the righty has encountered during his recovery, a return to the rotation this season is looking doubtful for the 37-year-old.
Iwakuma has thrown just 31 innings since 2016, posting a 4.35 ERA, and 1.26 WHIP with 16 strikeouts.
