EDGE Analysis

Brantly was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in late July, but he'll serve as a depth option at catcher once again after Gary Sanchez tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. The 32-year-old Brantly appeared in four games during his first stint with the major-league club this year, and he went 2-for-15 with a double and three strikeouts.
