SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — So will be on the roster or not? And if he is, will he be in the starting lineup?
The status of Ichiro and his troublesome right calf going into opening day on Thursday is yet to be determined. But there seems to be a some amount of clarity after the Mariners wrapped up Cactus League play on Tuesday afternoon at Salt River Fields with a 5-3 win over the Rockies.
In the victory, Ichiro played seven complete innings and made four plate appearances, drawing a walk and going hitless in the other three.
