| The Brewers designated Corey Koskie for assignment on Monday, 10 days after the team declined his $6.5 million, 2008 option, according to the AP. Koskie did not play in 2007 as he battled post-concussion syndrome. He intends to try to play in 2008, but he's unlikely to be anything more than a role player wherever he ends up. |

|
|
| Not surprisingly, the Brewers have declined Corey Koskie's option for 2008. He missed all of last season with post traumatic concussion syndrome. |

|
| Corey Koskie still is unable to do much physical activity due to post-concussion syndrome. "I just want to get my life back," he told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "Because every day I have some symptoms. Some days I can't drive, I can't play with them (his three sons). There's still a lot of daily activity where I can't live my life yet." He's not expected to return to action this season, and his career could well be over. |

|
| Corey Koskie might not be back in 2007. He is still dealing with post-concussion symptoms which first popped up in mid-July of 2006. "We're certainly running out of time. If he woke up tomorrow morning and said, 'I'm ready to go,' it's still going to be the end of July before he could participate," assistant general manager Gord Ash tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. |

|
|
| Corey Koskie will not be ready to take part in spring training, as he's still dealing with the effects of post-concussion syndrome that kept him out of the second half of last season, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Constitution. "The good news is that he continues to improve," GM Gord Ash said. "The troubling news is he hasn't improved enough to get on the field yet." Ash said the Brewers might platoon Craig Counsell and Tony Graffanino at third base in the interim, though prospect Ryan Braun could get a look, if they don't seek outside help. |

|
| Brewers GM Doug Melvin said that the team received a positive medical report on third baseman Corey Koskie last week, according to the Appleton Post-Crescent. However, Koskie is still very much a question mark going into spring training. If he's unable to play, Craig Counsell and Tony Graffanino will step in at third base. |
|
|
|
| The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that although there will be no official announcement by the Brewers, Corey Koskie will not return to action this season. He still is dealing with symptoms related to the concussion he sustained in July. |

| Corey Koskie is feeling better but still isn't ready to do any baseball workouts, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Koskie was at first not allowed to watch TV, read or go on the internet, but now he can do all three for limited periods of time. "I want to play again this season," he said. "I don't want to go into the offseason like this." Koskie has been out since July 5 because of post-traumatic concussion syndrome. |

|
|
| Corey Koskie, who has been on the DL since July 6 with post-concussion syndrome, has still had symptoms of dizziness and occasional nausea, according to the Journal-Sentinel. "It has really shocked me the way it has turned out," Yost said. "It has shocked everybody. It didn't look serious at all, at first. The doctor did say if he gets better, he can get better really quick. They just don't know enough to tell us anything concrete."

|
| The Brewers placed Corey Koskie on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday, retroactive to July 6, with post-traumatic concussion syndrome, according to the AP. Koskie suffered the concussion after taking a fall in a game on July 6. Tony Gwynn, the son of the former Padres outfielder, was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take Koskie's spot on the roster. |
