SEATTLE -
Seattle Mariners starter Erik Bedard tested his balky left pitching shoulder Sunday, throwing in the outfield for about 10 minutes.Bedard had not thrown on the field since July 4, when he threw 99 pitches over five innings in a win over the Detroit Tigers. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list July 10 with a tight shoulder, and an MRI exam showed no additional damage.Bedard made 30 throws from 60 feet Sunday in the first extensive throwing session since going on the DL. He threw briefly in the batting cages under Safeco Field once last month but had not done any lengthy throwing."Afterward, if the report is a little positive, then that's real important," manager Jim Riggleman said.
