Bedard Out With Hamstring Strain

[Doughhead]

According to Orioles announcers, Bedard left the game after 6 IP with a Grade 1 strain in his hammy. Sounds like a precautionary measure, but I'm not sure how bad it is.

[Giambis]

Is Grade 1 on the good end of the scale? Or is it bad?

Pardon my ignorance, I'm the idiot who always has to think twice when I read "MRI: Results negative"

from wiki...
As a general rule, grade one hamstring strains should be rested from sporting activity for about 3 weeks and grade two injuries for about 4 to 6 weeks

Erik Bedard suffered a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring while throwing a pitch in the sixth inning. He doesn't know how serious it is because it's never happened to him before. Catcher Alberto Castillo said, "It'll probably be a day or two. No big deal."

I'd feel better if his title was Dr. Alberto Castillo, but it's still encouraging.

Interim manager Dave Trembley didn't seem upset about it initially, saying he didn't believe the injury will put Bedard on the disabled list, but he also said we'd know more tomorrow. Keep those fingers crossed.

Rotoworld:

Erik Bedard is day-to-day with a Grade 1 hamstring strain suffered in his victory over the Padres on Thursday.
That's the mildest type of strain, so it's possible he'll be ready to make his next start. Another possibility is that he'll be pushed back two or three days. Since the Orioles have Monday off, it wouldn't be a problem.

Was curious why he only pitched 6 innings..still with 9 K's though..Man I was lucky enough to pick him off waivers after someone dropped him in the beginning of the season, and he has been one of my best starters.

Ridiculous drop by a pure simpleton.

He has led the league in K's -- neck and neck with Hamels -- pretty much the entire year.

I'm glad he made it through the 6th inning. I needed the win this week.
It doesn't sound like he'll miss more than one start...if that.

No I dont think this is too serious. They will probably just push him back a few days or at the most skip 1 start.
