Brantley (ankle) took batting practice Thursday and is scheduled to perform running drills Friday, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, but he's on pace to have a brief stint on the sidelines. He's eligible to return Monday, so fantasy players setting weekly lineups should have a clear idea of his availability, which at this time appears nearly certain for early next week.
