Mariners' Steve Cishek: Expects to throw again Thursday

Cishek (hip) expects to throw again Thursday, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Cishek played catch Tuesday for the first time this spring, throwing 25 times. The right-hander said he felt good after the light session, but it's clear he's still far from returning to normal pitching activities. Cishek underwent microfracture surgery this offseason to repair a torn labrum and was projected to compete with Nick Vincent for a setup role in the Seattle bullpen.
