Brantley is scheduled to play back-to-back games Friday and Saturday with Triple-A Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Playing back-to-back games is considered the last hurdle to overcome before returning to the Indians lineup, so given that the Indians felt confident enough to schedule it now is a very good sign. The schedule states that his location on Sunday is TBD, so things should become clearer following the second game of the back-to-back.
