 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Athletics designated outfielder Milton Bradley for assignment Thursday, cutting ties with a player who was expected to play an important role on the team this season.
The move was made to avoid a logjam in the outfield with the emergence of rookie Travis Buck and the return of other players from injuries.
Nick Swisher, Mark Kotsay, Jack Cust, Shannon Stewart and Buck are all competing for playing time in the outfield, and Chris Snelling and Bobby Kielty are expected to come off the disabled list soon.
