NEW YORK – When bone spurs were removed from Adrian Beltre's shoulder Tuesday, no structural damage was found, giving the Mariners hope their third baseman could return sooner than the originally projected 6-8 weeks."Everything went great," manager Don Wakamatsu said. "There wasn't any damage to the [rotator] cuff or anything like that. The bursa sac was inflamed.
"We're still looking 6-8 weeks, but maybe if everything goes well it might be quicker than that."
