Corey Hart (knee) ran on the field and took full batting practice on Monday.
It's the first time he's done so since undergoing knee surgery. Hart admitted that the running was "awkward," but he could be ready for a rehab assignment in about a week. The assignment is expected to take a while, so it will likely be well into June before Hart is activated. May 20 - 9:52 PM

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Corey Hart (knee) is unlikely to return from the disabled list on May 30 when first eligible.

Hart has begun running recently without assistance, but he's just not going to be far enough along in a couple weeks to be activated from the 60-day DL. The first baseman is more likely to return within the first couple weeks of June.

Corey Hart (knee) said he's "progressed a lot lately" and hopes to return from the disabled list when first eligible on May 30.

"Over the last week and a half, I've done a lot," Hart added. "Everything's going well." So far, the outfielder has done exercises to strengthen his quad muscles, as well as water aerobics and throwing as part of his rehab. It's not clear when he might be ready for a rehab assignment.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Corey Hart (knee) said he had a "good checkup" with team physician William Raasch on Thursday.

"I had a good checkup," said Hart. "(Raasch) said it was doing good. It's hard to tell until my strength comes back. I'm still doing the same thing, trying to get my quad back. Once that fires, everything else is going to come. I just need to get it stronger. It's hard to rush because my leg won't let me." Because he was placed on the 60-day DL, Hart can't be activated before May 30. He remains on pace to return around that time.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Brewers transferred 1B/OF Corey Hart from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The Brewers made the move in order to clear a spot for Blake Lalli on the 40-man roster. While Hart has always suggested that he could make it back from knee surgery ahead of schedule, he's now ineligible to be activated before May 30. Fantasy owners will have to be patient.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

The Brewers plan to move Corey Hart (knee) to the 60-day disabled list before Tuesday's game.

The Brewers hadn't expected to have Hart until mid- to late-May, but the outfielder had suggested it was possible he could be back sooner. However, when moved to the 60-day DL, he won't be eligible to return until May 30. It's not clear when Hart will be ready for a rehab assignment, but obviously it won't be for a while.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Brewers placed 1B Corey Hart on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with a right knee injury.

An expected move, as Hart is still in rehab mode from January surgery on his right knee. He should begin baseball activities within the next couple of weeks and the hope is that he'll be ready to return at some point before the end of May. The Brewers were considering placing him on the 60-day DL, so this move indicates that an earlier return hasn't been ruled out.

Corey Hart (knee) was cleared to ramp up his rehab following an MRI on Friday.

Great news. Hart is now off crutches, but he's likely about 3-4 weeks away from any baseball activity. As of now, the Brewers are expecting him back at some point in May.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Corey Hart will have a follow-up MRI on his surgically-repaired right knee on Friday.

If the scan shows sufficient healing, Hart will be cleared to ramp up his rehab. However, he's still about 3-4 weeks away from baseball activities. Hart has expressed optimism about return in late April, but it's more likely that his absence will stretch into May.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Thursday that he's still planning on getting Corey Hart (knee) back in late May.

Hart said Wednesday that he's ahead of schedule and expects to be playing by late April, but Roenicke is still operating under the assumption that the original four-month timetable for the first baseman will stick. "It does make a difference, how you go about things mentally in coming back from injuries and rehabbing, and if he's positive, he's probably going to work harder," Roenicke said. "But the doctors tell us it's going to be four months [post-surgery] -- I'm going on that. If he comes back sooner than that, great. He says he's a fast healer, I hope he is. But I think, realistically, we're looking somewhere the later part of May. If he's back earlier, great."

Corey Hart (knee) told ESPN's Tim Kurkjian that he is aiming to return by April 20.

Hart was originally slated to miss four months following right knee surgery on January 25, so this would put him a month ahead of schedule. While this would certainly be a positive development for the Brewers, they will continue to assess their options in-house and outside the organization. As it stands right now, Hunter Morris is the most likely candidate to open the season at first base.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Corey Hart reiterated Wednesday that he is ahead of schedule following right knee surgery.

Hart underwent surgery on January 25 to repair a torn meniscus and smooth an imperfection in the joint surface. He was still using crutches Wednesday, but hopes to be cleared for more intense rehab after an MRI late next week. While he was originally expected to be out until late May, Hart is aiming to be back by the end of April. Mat Gamel will fill in at first base for now.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Corey Hart stated Friday that he is already ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation after surgery on his right knee, and if things continue at his current pace he could be ready to play by the end of April.

Hart will have an MRI done in three weeks, and barring any setbacks he could beat his projected recovery time by a full month with a late-April return. While it's encouraging news, Hart owners still shouldn't expect him back until sometime in May. Mat Gamel will hold down the fort at first base in his absence.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Corey Hart will be sidelined four months after undergoing surgery Friday on his right knee.

Dr. William Raasch performed a debridement of the knee joint surface and repaired a "small" meniscal tear in Hart's knee. The 30-year-old was originally scheduled to go under the knife on Tuesday, but he decided to get a second opinion first. The Brewers are expected to use Mat Gamel at first base until Hart is ready to return, which will be in late May, at the earliest.

Corey Hart - 1B - Brewers

Corey Hart will not have scheduled surgery on his right knee on Tuesday and instead will get a second opinion from Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail, Colorado.

It was previously reported that Hart needed surgery and would miss 3-4 months, but he apparently want to exhaust all options first. If surgery is required, Mat Gamel figures to open the season as the starting first baseman.
