SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners will have right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma under contract for the 2015 season.

The Mariners announced Thursday that Iwakuma's $7 million option was vested based on his on-field performance.

Iwakuma missed the first month of the 2014 season but went 15-9 with a 3.52 ERA in 28 starts. 

He signed with Seattle before the 2012 season after a 12-year career in Japan. In three seasons with the Mariners, Iwakuma has gone 38-20 with a 3.07 ERA and 440 strikeouts in 524 innings pitched. He was an All-Star in 2013.
