Mariners push back Hisashi Iwakuma's (knee) next start

The Seattle Mariners have pushed starting pitcher Hishahi Iwakuma's (knee) next start back from Tuesday to Thursday.

What It Means:

Iwakuma was hit hard by a comebacker in his last start, leaving his knee a little sore. Yovani Gallardo and Ariel Miranda will move up one to accomdate the rotation change. Fantasy owners take note as Miranda will now make two starts this week instead of Kuma.

Iwakuma is a bit lucky to own a 4.35 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 31 innings as he holds a 6.29 FIP and a .220 BABIP in 6 starts.
