Jeff Kent has been sidelined by a right hamstring strain just a few days shy of his fortieth birthday, according to the Los Angeles Times.

"It will be a week," Joe Torre said when asked how long Kent would be sidelined.

The injury might take longer to heal at his age, but Kent doesn't think it'll be a problem when the season opens.
