SEATTLE (AP) -Seattle Mariners pitcher Erik Bedard, out since July with a tight left shoulder, has decided to undergo surgery Friday.
The Mariners issued a statement Tuesday saying exploratory arthroscopic surgery will be performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum, who is expected to remove any unhealthy tissue of foreign material from the labrum in the shoulder.
Mariners vice president Lee Pelekoudas says Bedard decided on the operation after two months of unsuccessful efforts to rehabilitate the shoulder. The right-hander was placed on the disabled list July 10, retroactive to July 5, and underwent an MRI exam on July 22.
He was 6-5 this season with a 3.67 ERA. His major league career record is 46-38 with a 3.81 ERA in five seasons.
