| December 19, 2007 Milton Bradley, who is recovering from offseason knee surgery, expects to be ready for opening day "to play in some capacity," according to the Dallas Morning News. "The knee is fine," Bradley said on a conference call. "I'm ahead of pace for the average person, so I'm where I need to be, to be ready by the start of the season." As things stand now, the Rangers expect Bradley to play right field and DH next year. However, he could also play center field if the team doesn't sign one this offseason. |
| December 9, 2007 Milton Bradley and the Rangers have reached a preliminary agreement on a one-year, $5 million contract. The deal also contains performance bonuses, according to the AP. Bradley could play right field or DH for the Rangers. He might not be ready for opening day after recovering from knee surgery. |
| September 24, 2007 Milton Bradley has a torn ACL in his right knee and will miss the rest of the season. The outfielder was injured Sunday when manager Bud Black tried to keep his player from going toe to toe with first base umpire Mike Winters after the two were involved in a verbal exchange, according to the AP. |
| September 24, 2007 Milton Bradley was injured Sunday in a bizarre series of events on the field. While standing on first base, he got into a heated argument with first-base umpire Mike Winters. Eventually, he went to get into the ump's face to argue before manager Bud Black tried to restrain Bradley. While Black wrestled with Bradley to keep him away from Winters, Bradley twisted his knee and fell to the ground. He had to be helped off the field while putting no weight on his leg. Bradley said he was baited, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune, specifically that Winters called him "a (expletive) piece of (expletive)." It will be interesting to see how this plays out off the field, but even more interesting to fantasy folk, it will be interesting to see how seriously Bradley is injured. |
| September 23, 2007 Milton Bradley is still limited to batting right-handed, Bud Black told the AP. Bradley played his first game on Friday night since missing 12 games because of a strained right oblique on Sept. 7. Black said that Bradley still does not feel 100 percent when swinging from the left side of the plate. The Padres face left-handed pitchers in each of the next three games. But in their final six games of the season, San Diego may face all right-handers. |
| September 19, 2007 Milton Bradley could be back as soon as Friday from the oblique injury that's kept him out since Sept. 7, Bud Black told the AP. Bradley continues to feel better swinging from the right side but still a little sore swinging lefty, Black said. |
| September 16, 2007 Manager Bud Black said Milton Bradley isn't expected to play in the next few days. He's been out since straining his right oblique on Sept. 7 at Colorado. "I think he's gaining on it," Black said in the AP. |
| September 14, 2007 Milton Bradley (oblique) probably won't return until next week at the earliest, the AP reports. He's been out since last Friday's game with Colorado. |
| September 13, 2007 The Padres are hoping Milton Bradley will be able to play Friday. By then, Bradley will have missed five straight starts due to an oblique strain, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. |
| September 12, 2007 Milton Bradley will likely need three or four more days to recover from his oblique strain. Bradley missed his third consecutive start last night, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. |
| September 9, 2007 There is no timetable for the return of Milton Bradley, who left Friday's game with a strained oblique, according to the AP. "I'd say he's doubtful for (Sunday)," manager Bud Black said. "You don't know how bad it is until he starts moving around. We're keeping our fingers crossed." Knowing Bradley's injury history, we have to figure that he'll miss at least a couple of games. |
| September 8, 2007 Milton Bradley was forced to exit last night's game in the seventh inning. He took a swing and doubled over in pain due to a strained oblique, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. It's a tough injury to recover from quickly, so don't expect to see Bradley in action the rest of the weekend. |
| September 2, 2007 Milton Bradley has been dealing with a sore left side that was still bothering him after Saturday's game. He sat out Sunday. "It's nothing to be concerned with," manager Bud Black said in the AP. Bradley will be back in the lineup Monday. |
| August 23, 2007 Milton Bradley returned to the lineup Wednesday, batting third and playing left field. It was his first appearance since Aug. 3; he's been dealing with a hamstring injury. Bradley finished the night 1-for-5 with a run scored. |
| August 21, 2007 GM Kevin Towers expects Milton Bradley, who has been out since August 3 with a hamstring injury, to return to the lineup tonight, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. "I think he'll be ready," Towers said. "He probably could have played this weekend." Bradley is batting .355 with five homers since joining the Padres, but his ever-present injury issues make him a less-than-ideal fantasy option. |
| August 19, 2007 Milton Bradley took batting practice and ran the bases Saturday, but remains out with a strained right hamstring, the AP reports. Bud Black said Bradley's "doing better," but declined to say when he might start again. |
| August 18, 2007 The Padres continue to play the waiting game with Milton Bradley, out of the starting lineup since Aug. 3 with a right strained hamstring, the AP reports. Bradley, who has just one pinch hitting appearance on Aug. 8 since he suffered the injury, is not yet a candidate for the 15-day DL, according to manager Bud Black. |
| August 17, 2007 Milton Bradley, who is still dealing with a strained right hamstring, remains neither a candidate for the disabled list nor the starting lineup, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. That said, Bradley is encouraged by how his hamstring has responded recently. "I feel pretty good," Bradley said. "I may play this weekend or sometime next week. Everything is progressing. I had a lot of improvement since (the setback in) Cincinnati." Bradley hasn't played since August 8. |
| August 12, 2007 Milton Bradley isn't ready to return to action. He experienced soreness in his strained right hamstring after working out on Friday, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. "He's just sore because he worked it real hard," manager Bud Black said. "Maybe he overworked it a little bit." He's missed over a week due to the injury but so far has avoided a trip to the disabled list. Hopefully, he will get back in the mix in the next few days. |
| August 10, 2007 Milton Bradley performed agility drills before Thursday's game, but manager Bud Black thinks the slugger is still two or three days away from returning to the starting lineup, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. He has been sidelined since last Friday's with a strained right hamstring. |
| August 8, 2007 Milton Bradley was able to pinch-hit in the ninth inning and earned a walk Wednesday night, though he was replaced by a pinch-runner. It was his first action in five games, as he was hobbled by a strained right hamstring. That he played should be a sign that he will not end up going on the disabled list due to the injury. |
| August 7, 2007 Milton Bradley did not start on Tuesday for the fourth straight game due to a right hamstring injury, according to the AP. Manager Bud Black said Bradley is "still a few days away" from returning. If Bradley doesn't improve soon, it's also possible the Padres will place him on the DL. |
| August 7, 2007 Milton Bradley hasn't played since departing Friday's game because of a strained hamstring. "Milton is still on the mend," manager Bud Black said in the San Diego Union-Tribune. "He is probably, I hope, a few days away." |
| August 4, 2007 Milton Bradley left Friday's game with a strained right hamstring, according to the AP. It was unclear at what point in the game he got injured. It's unclear if Bradley will be forced to miss any time, but given that this is Milton Bradley we're talking about, the odds are quite good that he'll be forced to miss some time. |
| July 26, 2007 Milton Bradley was given a day off Wednesday due to some "aches and pains," Bud Black told the AP. |
| July 15, 2007 Milton Bradley was given a routine day off Saturday, the AP reports. Bud Black plans to get Bradley back in the lineup Sunday and Monday. |
| July 8, 2007 Milton Bradley had a solid debut with the Padres Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a couple of runs scored. He came off the disabled list earlier in the day. Bradley, who batted fifth, will get every opportunity to prove he's capable of being a regular in San Diego. |
| July 7, 2007 Milton Bradley is about to debut for the Padres. He likely will come off the disabled list and start in left field on Saturday, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. He's been recovering from a strained oblique that he had while still with the A's, but it looks like he's ready to suit up for his new team on Saturday. |
| July 2, 2007 The Padres placed Milton Bradley on the disabled list Sunday, retroactive to June 21, when he was still with the A's. The Padres knew about the strained oblique when they acquired him and may wait until after the All-Star break to activate him, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. It sounds like he's close to being ready for action, but waiting until after the break would make sense. |

| June 29, 2007 The Padres acquired Milton Bradley from the A's on Friday in exchanged for minor league pitcher Andrew Brown, according to the AP. Bradley is expected to join the Padres on Sunday, although it's not clear how much he'll play right away because he hurt his oblique in his last game with Oakland. The A's designated him for assignment on June 21. |
| June 29, 2007 Milton Bradley appears headed to San Diego in exchange for a minor-league pitcher, according to the AP. An official announcement will likely come Friday. If Bradley is healthy and focused with the Padres, he could get a long look in left field. |
| June 23, 2007 It appears that the trade that was set to send Milton Bradley from Oakland to Kansas City fell through. The Royals nixed the deal after they found out that Bradley sustained an oblique injury in his last game with the A's, according to MLB.com. Apparently, the A's didn't know about the injury when they designated him for assignment on Thursday. |
| June 22, 2007 The Athletics have traded Milton Bradley to the Royals for pitcher Leo Nunez, according to ESPN. Bradley had been designated for assignment on Thursday. He should see plenty of at-bats in the Royals outfield, something that wasnt going to happen in Oakland. |
