Seattle places Bedard back on DL - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

SEATTLE (AP)—Oft-injured pitcher Erik Bedard(notes) is back on Seattle’s disabled list with inflammation in his left shoulder, perhaps handcuffing the Mariners’ ability to deal one of their top commodities as the nonwaiver trade deadline approaches.

Bedard was placed on the disabled list Sunday morning and Seattle recalled left-hander Jason Vargas(notes) from Triple-A Tacoma to take Bedard’s spot on the 25-man roster. Vargas was scheduled to start Sunday’s series finale against Cleveland.

“At this time, we thought it was in Erik’s best interest to back him off and give him time to recover from the discomfort in his left shoulder,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said. “We look forward to having him available to compete for the stretch run.”

I can explain this in one expression.

I hated it then. And I REALLY hate it still.

Chris Tillman could end up better than Bedard alone.

****ing Bavasi can go just off a cliff into a pool of Mr. Clean.
