Dodgers 2B Kent likely out another week

Dodgers second baseman Jeff Kent played in a simulated game Saturday and also did some light running, but likely won't be ready to play until next week at the earliest. Manager Joe Torre said Kent is not yet running freely. "He was disappointed, because he thought he'd have more freedom that he did," Torre said. Kent declined to comment on his running, but did say that "hitting's not a problem" for him. Torre said he did not expect Kent to play in a game until next week at the earliest. [link]
