CHICAGO -- Disabled outfielder Milton Bradley and club management reacted Tuesday to a published report that police have been called to Bradley's Redondo Beach home three times this summer for alleged domestic violence.

The Daily Breeze reported that no arrests were made or charges filed in response to the incidents, which date back to June 28. But the revelation added to the string of controversies that surround the 27-year-old outfielder.

Most recently, Bradley had a clubhouse confrontation with teammate Jeff Kent about a perceived lack of hustle. Two days later, Bradley suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee. The following day, he defied his manager's edict to keep the turmoil "in-house" by telling reporters that Kent had problems dealing with African-Americans. Bradley was placed on the disabled list two days later.

Dodgers players have said privately that Bradley has played his last game in a Dodgers uniform, but he remains on the roster.

Bradley has not spoken with reporters since the racial comments, but he issued a statement through the club publicity department Tuesday:

"The events written about are very regrettable. Any problems reported have been exaggerated but nonetheless, my wife and I have resolved all issues. The incidents reported will remain private and personal. At this time, I am choosing to handle this matter and all future matters directly and confidentially with the Dodgers. While I continue to work on my off-the-field issues, my energy is also directed towards preparing for season-ending knee surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation."

Dodgers general manager Paul DePodesta, who said Bradley will soon have surgery on his knee performed by Lakers team doctor Steve Lombardo, issued this statement:

"Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and I have made it crystal clear that character is an essential attribute for everyone within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. As we have already stated, Milton Bradley has health issues that we expect he will address. We are disappointed that he is facing challenges away from the ballpark, but we are confident he will confront these issues as well. As these are personal matters for Milton Bradley, the team is not distracted and remains fully focused on winning the National League West division."
