"Milton Bradley isn't guaranteeing anything.

He won't say he's beaten the personal issues that forced him to leave the Seattle Mariners and seek outside help for the past two weeks.

He won't say exactly what those issues were.

But he will say that he's happy to be back with the Mariners.

Bradley was activated from the restricted list before the game and in the starting lineup Tuesday night, playing left field and batting sixth.

To make room for him on the 25-man roster, reliever Sean White was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. The Mariners also needed to make space on the 40-man roster, and placed left-hander Erik Bedard on the 60-day disabled list. Bedard will be eligible to come off the DL on June 3.

"I'm just looking forward to getting back," Bradley said before the game. "I don't have all the answers. I'm not saying I'm cured or whatever you may call it. But I'm working ever so hard and I'm committed to this process and it's going to be an ongoing thing. It' s the best thing for me. And I'm glad I took this time."

Bradley left the team and was placed on the restricted list on May 6, following an incident when he was removed from the May 5 game against the Tampa Bay Rays after striking out with the bases loaded.

There were reports that Bradley got into an argument with manager Don Wakamatsu and then left Safeco Field shortly after he was taken out of the game.

The next day, Bradley went to Wakamatsu and general manager Jack Zduriencik asking for help in dealing with off-the-field issues that were affecting his play. The Mariners obliged and Bradley was placed on the restricted list as he received help from counselors and other professionals outside the Mariners organization."
