Former All-Star outfielder Milton Bradley has a troubled history, both on and off the field.
A temperamental player who often clashed with opponents, umpires and teammates, Bradley has been unable to avoid trouble, even after retiring from baseball in 2011.
According to a report by Sports Illustrated, Bradley has been charged with spousal battery following an altercation in January with his wife, Rachel, at their home in Encino, Calif.
Court and police documents say Bradley and his wife had an argument while riding home from a dinner out. The argument continued when they returned home. Bradley allegedly grabbed her around her neck and threw her onto a couch.
At the time of the incident, Bradley was still on probation for his criminal conviction for violence against his former wife. He was convicted in 2013 on nine domestic violence-related charges stemming from an incident involving his then-wife Monique.
He served a 32-month sentence that ended in 2016.
He was expected to appear before a judge in that case on Monday to determine if he violated terms of his parole.
Bradley played for eight different teams during a 12-year major league career. He spent two seasons in Seattle. He finished with a .271 career average, 125 home runs and one All-Star appearance as a member of the Texas Rangers in 2008.
