Cishek (hip) will throw live batting practice at the Mariners' spring training facilities in Arizona on Friday, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cishek required offseason hip surgery that pushed back his spring debut enough to require a season-opening disabled list stint. The next step will be game action at extended spring training, likely followed by a week or so of rehab games at Triple-A. If all goes well, Cishek should be back with the Mariners by mid-April.
