Wright had played every inning of every game this season before sitting out Tuesday's 11-0 loss. The third baseman was struggling at the plate, going 2-for-13 over his last four games entering Wednesday. "Just trying to simplify things," Wright said of his approach at the plate. "We need wins.

Bedard was forced to leave his last outing on June 20 against Atlanta after the third inning. He could start this weekend at San Diego if there is no pain later this week, but could be placed on the disabled list if the problem persists. The left-hander, in his first season with Seattle following a trade from Baltimore, is just 4-4 with a 3.97 |
