Brantley's (shoulder) first game action figures to come in a minor league game later this month, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Indians medical staff still hasn't cleared Brantley for game action and his presence in a minor league won't necessarily put him on track to open the season with the Indians. We'll have a better idea of an eventual return date if he's able to participate in an exhibition game before spring wraps up.
