Hip, Hip, DL!

Erik Bedard's hip lands him on the disabled list:

The move is retroactive to April 9, and Seattle's ace isn't sure when he might pitch again.

Seattle traded five players to the Baltimore Orioles in February for the 28-year-old Bedard, boosting hopes of a playoff berth this season. He was scratched from a scheduled start Sunday for the second time in eight days.

The left-hander played catch before Tuesday's game against Kansas City, then emerged from manager John McLaren's office with a trainer smiling and joking.

"It's a lot better," Bedard said, adding when asked if the pain comes and goes that "it's going now."

But when asked if he would be able to take his next turn in the rotation Friday at the Los Angeles Angels, Bedard said, "No way."

Seattle announced an hour later that Bedard was going on the DL. The Mariners will make a corresponding roster move Wednesday.

It sounds like it's not too serious, but we'll see.

Ironically, the O's supposedly were wary of Adam Jones' hip "condition" during trade negotiations.
