Mariner’s Erik Bedard had an MRI on his injured left shoulder on Tuesday to determine the cause of the pain in his arm. All that resulted was that he will continue his rehab program, and attempt to resume throwing shortly. He threw in batting practice on Sunday but gave up when his arm became still.
Bedard is 6-4 with a 3.67 ERA so far this season.

Mast year was a record year for Canadians in MLB. Over 23 different Canadians played in a major league game, with some very impressive performances.
After almost one month into the 2008 season, there has been 6 position players and 8 pitchers on a team roster. Matt Stairs leads the position players in batting, helping the Blue Jays to a surprisingly competitive start. Reds rookie Joey Votto is close behind, hitting almost .300 with 3 homeruns. Mark Teahen leads all Canadian batters with 4 homeruns.
The great start by the Cubs has been helped by Ryan Dempster, whose 3-0 start with a 3.00 ERA is a major reason of their success. The starter role seems to suit him! We’ll have to wait for Erik Bedard to me taken off of Seattle’s injured list before we can see him in action.
There should be more Canadians coming, and there’s a healthy crop at AAA. That will be the subject of an upcoming post.
For now, we’ll cheer on the 14 and hope that number goes beyond 24!!
