Erik Bedard retires

LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers pitcher Erik Bedard has decided to retire rather than continue his comeback from a teres major muscle strain earlier this year.

Bedard was placed on the voluntary retired list on Thursday by Class-A Rancho Cucamonga, after the 36-year-old made three starts for the Quakes, allowing eight runs on 16 hits in 14u2153 innings, with seven strikeouts and one walk.

His last start for Rancho Cucamonga was June 4, during which he allowed two home runs.

#Dodgers GM Farhan Zaidi said Erik Bedard wasn't happy with way he was throwing, placed on retired list.
