 San Diego, California - The San Diego Padres today placed outfielder Milton Bradley on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to June 21) due to a strained left oblique muscle. Executive Vice President/General Manager Kevin Towers made the announcement.
The Padres acquired Bradley and cash considerations from the Oakland Athletics on Friday, June 29, in exchange for right-handed pitcher Andrew Brown. The switch-hitting Bradley, 29, has played in 19 games for Oakland this season, hitting .292 (19-for-65) with four doubles, two home runs, seven RBI, six runs scored and eight walks. He was designated for assignment by the A»s on June 21. Last season with Oakland, Bradley hit .276 (97-for-351) with 14 doubles, two triples, 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 53 runs scored and 51 walks. He batted .300 (77-for-257) with 11 homers and 44 RBI after the All-Star break and then hit .323 (10-for-31) with three home runs and seven RBI in seven postseason contests. In 649 career Major League games, Bradley has hit .271 (625-for-2309) with 133 doubles, 12 triples, 70 homers, 292 RBI, 331 runs scored and 286 walks for the Montreal Expos (2000-2001), Cleveland Indians (2001-2003), Los Angeles Dodgers (2004-2005) and Oakland Athletics (2006- 2007). In 11 playoff games, he has a career postseason average of .310 (13-for-42) with three doubles, four homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and five walks for the Dodgers (2004 NLDS) and Athletics (2006 ALDS and ALCS). |
