"Mariners pitcher Erik Bedard won't be returning off the disabled list to start against the Texas Rangers after the All-Star break as initially hoped.
Bedard has been out with what the team says is a mild sprain of his left knee and the hope had been that he could start the third or fourth game against the Rangers. But manager Eric Wedge said Saturday that was no longer the case.
"It looks like (Blake) Beavan is going to get one more start," Wedge said of the rookie, who has made two starts in Bedard's place."
