SEATTLE (AP) — Mariners left-hander Erik Bedard will undergo shoulder surgery this week, continuing a string of injuries since his trade from Baltimore to Seattle before the 2008 season.
Bedard has not pitched this season as he recovered from labrum surgery in his left shoulder last year. Bedard was to make his season debut last month following a successful minor-league rehabilitation stint but he experienced more pain in the shoulder.
After being examined by Dr. Edward Khalfayan, Dr. Lewis Yocum and Dr. David Altchek, they agreed Bedard’s shoulder needs another surgery. The surgery will take place Friday in Seattle.
Bedard was limited by injuries to 15 starts in each of his first two seasons with Seattle.
