PEORIA, Ariz. -- Seattle manager Scott Servais stopped short of announcing Felix Hernandez as the Mariners' Opening Day starter on Wednesday, but he has the 31-year-old right-hander lined up to pitch the first game against the Indians on March 29 and will stick with that plan if everything goes well in Hernandez's final spring start, on Saturday against the Cubs.
"We still haven't made a decision on it yet," Servais said. "It really depends on where he's at and how he comes out of [this Saturday's outing]. If he does need one more, we'll give him one more.
