Cishek (hip) came out of Friday's abbreviated rehab stint without physical setbacks but is still dealing with straightening out his mechanics, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. "Cishek wasn't as sharp as he'd been previously," manager Scott Servais said. "He felt fine. I just think the release point, it wasn't coming out great. But nothing physical at all, it was more of a mechanical thing."

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old reliever worked just two-thirds of an inning and gave up a single and two walks, so the short outing was a definite mixed bag. While the Mariners would like to have the former closer back in the fold as soon as possible, they want to see be effective in back-to-back outings before deeming him fit for a return. It's likely that Cishek will make another appearance for Triple-A Tacoma in the coming week and could potentially be ready to come off the disabled list upon the Mariners' return home on May 2. Servais has emphasized that neither Cishek's hip or shoulder have given him any trouble and that mechanics are the sole source of any struggles he's currently experiencing.
