Manager Terry Francona was non-committal when asked about an earlier report that Brantley (shoulder) could miss a significant amount of time, MLB.com reports. "We've been really forthright in saying that the timetable is on him getting better," Francona said. "Absolutely there's been no setbacks. Nothing's changed."

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't sound like he's experienced a setback but there's still a lot of uncertainty around his recovery progress.
