The Cubs have suspended disgruntled outfielder Milton Bradley for the remainder of the season, general manager Jim Hendry announced on Sunday.
Bradley took shots at the organization in a Saturday interview with the Daily Herald of Arlington Heights, Ill., saying that Chicago is "not a positive environment" and that he can understand why the Cubs haven't won in 100 years.
On Thursday, Bradley took himself out of the game after getting a hit, without a pinch-runner ready, and said afterward that he had knee inflammation.
Bradley is not with the team as it gets ready to play the division-leading Cardinals on Sunday at 7:05 p.m. CT. The 31-year-old switch-hitter -- signed to a three-year, $30 million contract this offseason -- hit .257 with 12 home runs and 40 RBIs in 124 games this year.
