Bedard
Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu said Thursday that Bedard will throw for the Mariners' team in the Arizona League on Saturday. If that start goes well, Bedard will make a start next Thursday at Triple-A Tacoma and could make his first appearance of 2010 for the Mariners on July 6 against Kansas City.
Bedard has not pitched since having shoulder surgery in August. He threw 2 2/3 innings and allowed one run on Tuesday in his first start for the Mariners rookie league team in Arizona.
Bedard is 11-7 with a 3.24 ERA in 30 starts over two seasons since being acquired by the Mariners before the 2008 season.
