Mariners left-hander Erik Bedard will start on Tuesday against the Royals. Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu said Bedard "is ready to go on Tuesday versus Kansas City, and we're looking forward to that. We talked to Erik and he's doing great after his outing. Pitch-count wise, he threw 81 pitches, so he should be at 90-95, somewhere around there." Bedard hasn't pitched this season after his 2009 campaign was ended early by a shoulder injury.
