PEORIA, Ariz. -- Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said Saturday it would be "hard pressed" for either Hisashi Iwakuma or Taijuan Walker to be in the Mariners rotation on opening day because of their injury setbacks during spring training. McClendon said the injuries to Iwakuma (finger) and Walker (shoulder) will open up chances for others in camp, but also leave a rotation that had questions entering spring training even more uncertain. "I always plan for the worst and our contingency plan has been that," McClendon said. "So like I said before this gives other guys opportunities to go out and see what they can do. Well see what happens." Iwakuma will have his right middle finger in a splint for another three weeks before throwing, while Walker is being shut down for a week because of inflammation in his right shoulder. By the time the duo make up for missed time on the mound it will be early- to mid-April before either is expected in a game. While Seattle is understandably cautious with the sore shoulder of the 21-year-old Walker because of his age, the finger injury has become frustrating for Iwakuma. When he went to see Dr. Don Sheridan on Friday, Iwakuma had the expectation that he could start throwing on Saturday. Instead, he was told to avoid throwing for three more weeks. The earliest Iwakuma is expected to pick up a ball is March 21. By the time he gets caught up on bullpen sessions and simulated games to get the needed innings to be ready for the season, itll likely be mid-April before he could join the Mariners rotation. "I was honestly disappointed and frustrated too at the same time, but you have to respect what the doctor says," Iwakuma said through an interpreter Saturday morning. "I was ready to play catch today so it is what it is and I have to wait three more weeks." Iwakuma went 14-6 with a 2.66 ERA in 33 starts last season and was a finalist for the AL Cy Young Award. Iwakuma reported for spring training wearing the splint and said his finger got caught as he tried to retrieve a ball in some netting while working out in Southern California on Jan. 20. McClendon also confirmed -- not surprisingly -- that Felix Hernandez is expected to be Seattles opening day starter when the Mariners open the season on March 31 against the Angels. "Unless youve got somebody else," McClendon joked. "Ill try and see if he can go opening day, the second day and the third day."

Mystery Men The Ottawa Senators are trying to get down to business, theyre just having start-up issues. Senators general manager Bryan Murray told The Ottawa Sun he was close to a minor trade that would have brought the Senators a forward, but that the deal was taken off the table prior to completion. "We had a couple of teams I was talking fairly serious to about a smaller type deal that would add one player to our team, but it doesnt appear its going to happen at this point," Murray said. The Sun surmises the Senators are still looking for a winger to play with Jason Spezza and that the Sens still covet Mississauga-native Matt Moulson. Waiting on Bolland The Toronto Maple Leafs may be looking to add bodies before the deadline as they cling to third in the Atlantic Division, but much of their activity may well depend on the return of Dave Bolland. Bollands eventual return - whether before or after the Olympic break &ndassh; will necessitate some roster movement on its own, with the Toronto Star reporting that at least two players will need to be moved to get down to the 23-man roster limit.dddddddddddd However, his return could also move some salary cap dominoes, especially with the team having added Tim Gleason into the mix over the duration of Bollands rehab. The Star report points toward the Leafs recent resurgence in secondary scoring as one factor to consider before any possible addition as well as managements stated belief in the teams depth. Addition and Subtraction? The Buffalo Sabres - currently 30th overall in the National Hockey League - will undoubtedly be busy at the deadline, but will they exclusively be in sell-off mode? The Buffalo News notes that should the team pull the trigger on a deal to move long-time starting netminder Ryan Miller, the team may also have to consider adding to its options in net for both the present and future. Jhonas Enroth is 1-10-5 and hasnt won since Oct. 25. The Buffalo News states that if new general manager Tim Murray is not confident he can win with Enroth moving forward, the Sabres could be in the market for a goalie.
