Right-hander Carlos Silva has been pushed from Sunday to Saturday, and left-hander Jarrod Washburn will get the Sunday start.

Manager John McLaren and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre want to make sure that Hernandez's sore right calf doesn't get worse.

The Mariners had Hernandez throw on flat ground before Thursday's game, and Friday in New York, the calf was still a bit of a problem, almost a week after it first became an issue last Sunday.

Now team trainer Rick Griffin is suggesting that Hernandez will be at or near full health come Monday.

YANKEES 13, MARINERS 2: Erik Bedard, who came in with the fifth-best Yankee Stadium ERA among active opposing pitchers at 3.45, was crushed for nine runs in 4 1/3 innings Friday as Seattle hit a new low at 13 games under .500.

Manager John McLaren wasn't around to see most of it. He was ejected in the second inning after Ichiro Suzuki was called out on strikes for the second consecutive inning. It was his third ejection of the season.

Bedard was stung for a three-run second-inning homer by Shelley Duncan after the Mariners had given him a 1-0 lead, but the knockout inning was the fifth, when Bedard and Sean Green were roughed up for seven runs.

Seattle has lost the first four games on this road trip and is 5-16 for the month of May.
