Bradley suffered an injury to his right knee when Padres manager Bud Black separated him from Winters. Bradley fell to the ground and clutched his knee. He then had to be helped from the field and complained of soreness in his knee after the game. "It's killing me," Bradley said before leaving to have an MRI to assess the damage.

According to a source, Bradley tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee after being restrained by manager Bud Black following his ejection from the Padres' 7-3 loss Sunday to Colorado.
The Padres are expected to officially announce Bradley's injury before Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park. Bradley will not only miss the final seven games of the regular season but the postseason should the Padres advance that far.

Got roughed up by your coach.
Couldn't happen to a better guy. LOL

Ump, responsible for the incident, is suspended by MLB:

Major League Baseball has suspended umpire Mike Winters for the remainder of the season, the Commissioner's Office announced on Wednesday.

The suspension evolved from an investigation of an eighth-inning incident during Sunday's Rockies-Padres game in San Diego in which Padres left fielder Milton Bradley was ejected for arguing with Winters. Winters was the first-base umpire that day.
According to Padres first-base coach Bobby Meacham, Winters instigated the incident by directing a profanity-laden accusation toward Bradley, which spearheaded the ensuing fracas.
"I can't tell you what he said because you couldn't print it," Padres manager Bud Black said at AT&T Park, where the Padres are playing the Giants. San Diego is hotly vying for a playoff spot. Asked if the statement was racial or profane, Black said: "Profane."

One of these days a ref or a ump is going to get his clock cleaned. They have increasing become more vocal and confrontational with players over the last couple of years. In the heat of the moment they need to have the cooler head.
