April 3, 2008
Brian Giles may have totally lost his power stroke but the man can still hit and on Wednesday he did just that with three hits and three RBI for the Padres.

March 19, 2008
It is looking like Brian Giles will be ready for Opening Day, according to MLB.com. Giles is progressing favorably enough from his off-season microfracture surgery on his knee to get into Cactus League games this week.

So far, his knee has handled every rehabilitation dished his way.

Brian Giles returned to action on Friday afternoon on a practice field in a Minor League game, according to MLB.com. Giles, who had surgery on his right knee at the start of the off-season, batted four times in the first three innings and received a paucity of hittable pitches. He faced four different pitchers and hit a run-scoring single up the middle, walked twice and struck out looking. Giles did not play defense or run the bases, and he won't Saturday either, when he plays in another Minor League game. But he could be doing so by Monday in Tucson, AZ, weather permitting, as rain is a possibility on Sunday and Monday. It's all part of the plan Giles and the Padres have in place to get him ready for the regular season. "Opening Day is our date," Giles said. "We've kind of got a schedule from here until we're done with camp with the idea of being ready on the 31st [of March]."

February 24, 2008

"I've been doing sprints, running since the end of January, and I feel good," said Giles. He's recovering from October microfracture surgery but is on track for opening day at this point. Giles is entering the final year of his current contract, though the Padres have a $9 million option with a $3 million buyout clause for 2009.
January 17, 2008
Brian Giles, recovering from offseason surgery on his right knee, expects to be ready to play opening day. "Barring any setbacks, I think it's realistic to say I'll be ready to start the season," Giles said to the San Diego Union-Tribune. "There hasn't been one setback yet, no pain, no swelling. I feel like I'll be ready to go for the first spring training game. But there's no reason to press it in spring training. My guess is that I'll hit in minor league games for the first week to 10 days. But this was also a more significant injury and operation than what I thought."
