EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder will rest up during the series finale as Chas McCormick mans left field.

Brantley went 3-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI and three runs scored during Monday's 10-2 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley has been on an absolute tear since returning from a right hamstring injury June 8, going 24-for-47 (nine XBH) with 12 RBI, all while striking out just four times. He'll look to take advantage of another favorable matchup Tuesday when Houston goes up against right-hander Jorge Lopez.

Brantley went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley smacked a double off Lance Lynn in the fourth inning, scoring Myles Straw. He added a single in the third frame, knocking in Jose Altuve and later scoring himself. The 34-year-old leads the Astros with a .338/.381/.502 slash line and his batting average is the best in the American League. Although he's getting on base at one of the highest rates of his career, his power numbers are down with just four long balls to this point in the season.

Brantley went (1-for-4) with a three-run home run in Thursday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

All of Brantley's offense came in the first inning to get the Astros up 3-0 on his three-run home run off Dylan Cease. He extended his current streak of reaching base safely to 15 games. The 34-year-old is slashing .342/.386/.548 with four home runs, 24 RBI and 31 runs in 215 plate appearances. His batting average trails just Nick Castellanos (.348) for the best amongst qualifiers in all of baseball.

Brantley went 3-for-5 with three doubles, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-3 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

After seeing his 10-game hitting streak end Saturday, Brantley got right back to it with a massive day at the plate Sunday. He doubled in two runs in the sixth inning and later knocked a two-run single in the seventh. It was his third multi-hit effort in the last four games and sixth in the last 11 games. The star outfielder is now slashing .337/.381/.497 with 23 extra-base hits this season.

Brantley went 4-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 6-4 victory versus Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

After getting a day off to rest Thursday, Brantley went right back to his hot-hitting ways Friday, notching his second four-hit game of the campaign. In the process, he upped his season average to .328 and extended his current hit streak to 10 games. Over that stretch, Brantley has batted .413 (19-for-46) with three doubles and six RBI.

Brantley isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley had started each of the last two games after being reinstated from the injured list Tuesday, and he went 4-for-9 with a double, two runs and an RBI during that time. Taylor Jones will start in left field and bat seventh.

Brantley went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

In his second game back from a hamstring injury, Brantley put together a solid performance. He's now 4-for-9 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in his last two games. For the season, the outfielder has slashed .313/.351/.460 with three home runs, 16 RBI, and 27 runs scored across 188 plate appearances. He served as the designated hitter Wednesday after playing in left field in his return Tuesday -- that may happen at times to keep the 34-year-old fresh.

Brantley went 1-for-4 with double with a run scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley was activated off the injured list for Tuesday's game and batted sixth, which may be a temporary assignment, according to Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. Manager Dusty Baker wants to monitor Brantley's hamstrings and promised to move him up in the order. He'd been the primary two-hole hitter prior to his injury, but Baker may not want to disrupt the surging Carlos Correa (16-for-40, five HR), who has settled in behind leadoff batter Jose Altuve. The two hole is an ideal spot for a hitter, getting protection from Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez and Yuli Gurriel.

Manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that Brantley (hamstring) will be activated from the injured list and start in Tuesday's series opener against the Red Sox, SportsTalk 790 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reports last week indicated that Brantley was on track to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list early in Houston's road trip, and it appears that the outfielder will rejoin the lineup Tuesday at Fenway Park. Though Baker has yet to release the starting nine, he did note that Brantley will be batting slightly lower than usual in his return. With that said, the 34-year-old will almost surely work his way back toward the top of the Astros' order as he gets back into the swing of things.
