Bedard is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a strained back muscle, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports. This is apparently the same injury that sidelined Clayton Kershaw for five weeks at the start of last season. Bedard was in camp on a minor league deal, and it now looks like he will be rehabbing this injury for the first month of the season, and could report to one of the Dodgers' upper minor league affiliates once that rehab process is complete.
