Brantley (shoulder) was able to hit off a tee for the second consecutive day Tuesday, MLB.com reports. "I think he took 50 or 55 swings and by all accounts really did well," manager Terry Francona said. "We'll let him continue on this path until we get home, and then we'll get our eyes on him and maybe start to set up a little bit of a calendar."

EDGE Analysis

Brantley's most certainly out until after the All Star break given his current status and the Indians wanting to avoid another setback but it's his first step forward since receiving a cortisone shot last week for some biceps tendinitis.
