Iwakuma has a small blister on his finger but manager Lloyd McClendon said it is not a big issue, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The blister prevented Iwakuma from throwing many splitters in Saturday's spring outing, which explains his struggles to a certain extent. Iwakuma gave up four runs on five hits, including a homer, in five innings against the Giants. While there has been nothing to suggest Iwakuma will miss time, consider him day-to-day until the Mariners officially clear him to make his next start.
