Iwakuma (shoulder) has been able to do strengthening exercises and light throwing, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

Analysis:

Iwakuma is projected to miss 2-to-4 weeks after suffering a Grade 1 strain of his right lat muscle, but it's a good sign that he's been able to resume throwing at this point. He likely won't be able to participate in anything more than just the light throwing for a couple of weeks, with a mid-to-late May return looking possible.
