Indians activate Bradley

ANAHEIM, Calif., May 9 (UPI) -- The Cleveland Indians have brought back one player from the disabled list, then had to put another on it.

Bradley, who came off the DL before Thursday's game against Anaheim, and went 0-for-2 in the Indians' 7-1 loss, had been hobbled by a strained right hamstring.

He originally strained the hamstring running the bases on April 15 against Baltimore, and re-aggravated the injury on April 22 in Seattle.

Bradley is hitting .375 (30-80) with 16 runs, 10 doubles, three home runs and seven RBIs in 19 games. He has compiled an on-base percentage of .433 in the leadoff spot this year.

Garcia has been bothered by the left wrist all season long and missed five games in April with inflammation in the wrist.

It was thought that Garcia had re-injured the wrist by making a diving catch Wednesday. However, Cleveland Manager Eric Wedge said that was not the case.

"Karim's wrist has been bothering him for the last three or four days," Wedge said. "I talked with him before (Wednesday's) game about the wrist, that's something he was concerned with. He didn't re-injure it. It's different than what it was before. It's most of a tendon on the top of his left arm that has been bothering him."

Garcia was hitting .194 (18-39) with eight runs, a double, five home runs and 14 RBIs in 24 games. He has made 16 starts in right field, six in centerfield and one at DH.
