Hisashi Iwakuma being placed on 10-day disabled list Wednesday

Hisashi Iwakuma was placed on the 10-day DL by the Mariners on Wednesday. The move is retroactive to May 4 and is due to inflammation in his right shoulder. Iwakuma was hit by a comebacker in his last start and has been dealing with a bruised knee, but this move is because of an unrelated shoulder ailment. He is heading for an MRI on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:
It was first reported that Iwakuma would be all right after taking a comebacker to the knee, but this injury sounds like it is unrelated. Iwakuma started the season strong but has struggled his last few times on the mound, and the worry now is that those struggles might be due to an ailing shoulder. The results of the MRI should be known by the end of the week, so monitor his status over the next few days.
