All the sudden everyone in Seattle is experincing back spasms. The disabled list appears to be an excellent hiding spot until this managerial fire storm blows over.
Seattle starting pitcher Erik Bedard left Friday night's game after the third inning due to back spasms.Bedard gave up only two hits in three scoreless innings but appeared to be in discomfort while leaving the field following the third. The Mariners reported he suffered back spasms in his right side. The severity of the injury was not immediately known.
Right-handed pitcher Brandon Morrow, who had taken over the Mariners' closing duties since J.J. Putz went on the disabled list, remained in Seattle on Thursday when the team flew to Atlanta, and will probably miss the Braves series. The Mariners hope Morrow (back spasms) will be back with the team for their three-game series with the Mets that begins Monday in New York.
