The Associated Press reports Seattle Mariners SP Erik Bedard (shoulder) received good news on his injured shoulder Friday, Sept. 26. He underwent surgery which revealed no tears in the labrum of his rotator cuff. Dr. Lewis Yocum removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder and performed minor cutting away of tissue on the labrum. Bedard's recovery time is expected to be roughly six months, but a more precise timetable will be decided when he starts his rehab. It is very possible that Bedard will be fully recovered by the start of next season.
