Cishek tosses 'pen session; Furbush testing shoulder

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Mariners closer Steve Cishek threw about 20 pitches in a bullpen session on Monday as he works back from some biceps tenderness that has kept the righty out of Cactus League games for the past week, while lefty setup man Charlie Furbush said he'll play catch on Tuesday to test his sore triceps.

Cishek says the club is just being careful after he felt a little soreness last week, but he noted that's nothing unusual at this point in camp, with three weeks until Opening Day.

"It's too early in the spring to do anything crazy, so we are just being cautious," Cishek said.
