Blake Beavan's right elbow feels better, but his scheduled start on Sunday remains up in the air. Beavan had to leave Monday's start after three inning when he was drilled on the pitching elbow by a comebacker. He should throw a bullpen session in a couple days, and the Mariners will likely know then if he'll be ready for Sunday. If he's not, Hisashi Iwakuma, who pitched three innings in relief of Beavan Monday, would be an option to fill in.
