He's 36 years old and has a 5.02 ERA with a 7:1 K:BB in 14.1 innings for High-A Rancho Cucamonga. The back is balky still and it looks like we've finally hit the end. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Is seems as though Bedard's days of being a useful pitcher are just about over. He'll likely head to Triple-A and give the Dodgers and experienced arm if they ever need a spot start this season.

The Dodgers wouldn't say exactly what Bedard's injury was at first, but the fact that it's his lat isn't much of a surprise given the back issues he's had in the past. Consider him day-to-day for now, but he is likely going to need some extended time off depending on how the MRI reads.
