Nothing new revealed after M's Bedard has MRI

SEATTLE -- Injured Mariners starter Erik Bedard got an MRI on his left shoulder Tuesday, but team physicians found no new causes for the nagging tightness and soreness the lefty is experiencing.

Dr. Edward Khalfayan said the MRI confirmed the initial diagnosis of tightness in the shoulder and recommended that Bedard remain on his current rehabilitation program.

Bedard has not started since July 4 and went on the disabled list July 10, retroactive to July 5. He briefly threw in the Mariners' batting cage under Safeco Field on Sunday, but didn't feel up to throwing on the field a day later.

Bedard is 6-4 with a 3.67 ERA in 15 starts this season.
