Scott Servais isn’t sure when exactly it will happen.
But with each passing day he is more convinced than ever that Hisashi Iwakuma will play a significant role for the Seattle Mariners at some point in the 2018 season.
“Very well,’’ Servais said Wednesday when asked about Iwakuma’s progress from a shoulder injury that ended last season and left him resigned to signing a minor league deal with the Mariners in November.
“I’m actually very excited about where he’s at. He’s going to help up this year. I keep saying it. We will need him. And I feel good about his chances of stepping up and helping us at some point.
