Knights lose Bedard
Disappointing news today for New Orleans Knights fans. Erik Bedard, who returned for a second go-around with the Knights this offseason but has struggled mightily in the early going, has been diagnosed with a shoulder strain and will be out of effort indefinitely.
This season-to-date, Bedard has fashioned a 1-2 mark and 10.73 ERA in 24.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .358 against him and his WHIP is an astonishing 2.22.
The Knights have stumbled out to a miserable 7-15 start, initiated by their dropping their first six games of the season. In today's game, Pete Rose was the only starting batting better than .250.
Tom Underwood will take Bedard's spot in the rotation.
