Seattle Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley will have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Tuesday.

Bradley hasn't played since July 26 because of tendinitis in his right knee. The operation will be performed by Dr. Timothy Kremchek in Cincinnati. The Mariners will wait for the results of the surgery before thinking about Bradley's return.

''We'll have an idea after that on time frames and all that,'' Mariners interim manager Daren Brown said. ''He's had some pain there. We'll try to find out what's going on. Hopefully, it just (needs) to be cleaned up a little bit and we'll go from there.''

The troubled star had surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in 2007.

Bradley was acquired from the Chicago Cubs for pitcher Carlos Silva in December. The Mariners placed him on the restricted list for two weeks earlier this season while he received counseling to help him control his emotions.

Bradley, a switch-hitter, is batting .205 with eight home runs and 29 RBIs in 73 games.

Seattle is the eighth organization Bradley has played for in his career. He's been on the disabled list 13 times and on the suspended list three times.

Bradley, 32, has one year remaining on the three-year, $30 million contract he signed with the Cubs prior to last season.
