October 31, 2006 Pat Burrell is one of the players whom the Orioles have interest in, but the slugger isn't likely to waive his no-trade clause to go to Baltimore because he wants to play for contender, according to the Washington Post. Burrell hit .258 with 29 homers and 95 RBI in 2006. |

September 15, 2006 Pat Burrell returned to the starting lineup Thursday after sitting the previous night. He went 2-for-4 with a couple of singles. For the month Burrell is just 5-for-30 with one extra base hit, and he's only hit five home runs since the All-Star break. |

August 26, 2006 Pat Burrell was unable to play yesterday due to a sore left wrist, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He could return to action as soon as tonight, though. |

August 17, 2006 Because of his sore foot, Pat Burrell has only been starting against southpaws recently, according to the Phillies website. He appears to have settled into a platoon with David Dellucci, who is getting the nod against righties. Burrell does sometimes play against righties, but not nearly as frequently as he has been for most of the season. All in all, he will likely see about four starts per week, with only starts against lefties guaranteed. |

August 8, 2006 Manager Charlie Manuel doesn't think that Pat Burrell has fully recovered from foot surgery that he had last October, according to the AP. "To me, the biggest thing about Pat is the speed getting to the ball," Manuel said. "That comes from the foot. It's not like he limps, but he kind of gets his foot real high and then puts it down. It think sometimes the way he sets it down, you get flat-footed in the outfield, the ball kind of moves on you. His foot speed is what dictates what he can do." |

July 29, 2006 If no one in the Phillies outfield is dealt before the deadline, manager Charlie Manuel has stated that he may consider platooning Pat Burrell and David Dellucci in left field, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. However, Manuel also stated that Burrell is still his everyday left fielder for the time being, despite the fact that he has just one homer in July. |

June 11, 2006 The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Pat Burrell has been bothered since spring training by his right foot, from which he had a loose body and a bone spur surgically removed in October. He downplayed it yesterday but said he wasn't sure if he'd need more surgery after this season if the problem persists. "The foot has been great," he said. "I don't even want to talk too much about it because it feels good, really. I don't know what happened, but it's starting to come around and feel like normal again." |

May 5, 2006 Pat Burrell had to leave Friday's game against the Giants with tightness in his left hamstring, according to the AP. Burrell was injured while sliding into second trying to break up a double play. He was replaced in the game by Shane Victorino. |

March 9, 2006 Pat Burrell played left field for the second straight game on Wednesday after being fitted for an orthotic for his surgically-repaired right foot, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Burrell said the orthotic felt great. |

March 8, 2006 Slowed early this spring by a sore right foot, Pat Burrell played left field Tuesday for the first time in an exhibition game, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He had surgery to remove a bone spur from the foot during the offseason and is being fitted for a brace or support. |

February 28, 2006 The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Pat Burrell missed Monday's intrasquad game due to a sore right foot. He had a bone spur surgically removed from his foot in October. "He just has some soreness," said Ruben Amaro Jr., the Phillies' assistant general manager. "It's the first time he had been running on cleats in about six months." He's expected to play in Thursday's exhibition opener, though. |

February 17, 2006 Pat Burrell won't be used at first base to spell Ryan Howard against tough lefties, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Burrell played first base in 58 games as a rookie in 2000, but he told Phillies manager Charlie Manuel that he would not feel comfortable playing there again. |
