bad news...
Erik placed on the 15-day DL with shoulder inflamation...
Bedard, 5-2 with a 2.47 ERA in 11 starts, has not pitched since June 7. The 30-year-old missed a start in Colorado last weekend with the inflammation before being placed on the DL retroactive to June 8.He is scheduled to see Los Angeles Angels orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum on Thursday. Yocum performed shoulder surgery on Bedard in September.
"I'm hoping this is just precautionary. We backdated the DL, which bought us some time," general manager Jack Zduriencik said before the Mariners played the San Diego Padres.
"What we're hoping for is that he's ready to go next week," Zduriencik said. "That's our best plans for him and we hope that happens. We'll know a little more after tomorrow. Nobody wants to take a chance. We're close, we're right here and Yocum's very familiar with him and what's gone on in the past."
good news / sad news...
Mike Carp called up for his major league debut major league debut because Russell will be traveling to Georgia tomorrow for his grandfather's funeral.
It sounds like Carp might not be here much beyond, when Russell Branyan is going to be in Georgia at his grandfather's funeral. The Mariners are hoping that Branyan is back in time for Friday's game in Seattle, at which time Carp might be back with Tacoma.fun news..."We're looking at short-term right now,'' manager Don Wakamatsu said of Carp's stay. "But it's a great opportunity for him. There's probably not a better place to come for your debut than San Diego."
Especially when your entire family is in nearby Long Beach. They hustled down for tonight's game; Carp left 28 passes.
Wak headed to the All Star Game!
KANSAS CITY -- Joe Maddon has known Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu for more than 25 years. Maddon just met Royals manager Trey Hillman last season.
Both will be at Maddon's side when he manages the American League All-Star team at the 80th All-Star Game on June 14 in St. Louis.
Maddon, who earned the honor of managing the American League side after leading the Rays to the World Series in 2008, selected Seattle's Wakamatsu and Kansas City's Hillman as coaches for Midsummer Classic.
:::
Maddon said he met Wakamatsu in the early 80s, when Wakamatsu was playing at Arizona State.
"He was a catcher there and Jim Brock was the manager at that time. Actually, I was a young scout and a Minor League manager myself. Coach Brock invited me out to work with his catchers and one happens to be Wak," Maddon said. "I just thought it would be a great opportunity for him, being his first year in Seattle, to come to the All-Star Game. It should be, in some ways, beneficial to him and to that franchise."
:::He coached in the 2003 All-Star Game while serving as the bench coach of the Angels. And he's happy to have Wakamatsu and Hillman on board as he prepares to fill the manager's seat for the first time.
"I've always been a big Wak fan and I've gotten to know Trey and I like Trey. I think that the relationship between St. Louis and Kansas City made it the right thing to do."
