Brantley (hamstring) is expected to return during the Astros' upcoming series in Boston, which begins Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley is already eligible to return from the injured list, but he'll need at least a few more days before he's ready to go. Chas McCormick has handled left field in his absence, but Brantley should reclaim his everyday role as soon as he's healthy.

Brantley (hamstring) could return to the starting lineup "relatively early" during the team's upcoming road trip, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley, who has continued to hit while on the injured list, was scheduled to run the field prior to Tuesday's game. If he comes out of that without a setback, Brantley will presumably not need a rehab assignment. The outfielder was placed on the IL retroactive to May 25, meaning the earliest he could return is Friday, when Houston kicks off its three-city, nine-game road trip in Buffalo against the Blue Jays.

Brantley was placed on the 10-day injured list with right hamstring tightness Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley was slated to miss a third straight game Friday, so it isn't entirely surprising to see the team place him on the injured list. Chas McCormick and Aledmys Diaz could see increased time in left field in Brantley's absence, while Robel Garcia was called up by the Astros in a corresponding move.

Brantley will sit for the third straight game Friday against the Padres, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley hasn't played since Sunday and hasn't taken the field since Saturday. The Astros made a series of transactions which didn't involve sending the veteran to the injured list Friday, but such a move could still be coming pending further evaluation, McTaggart reports. Chas McCormick will be the left fielder in his absence.

Brantley (leg) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley will sit for the second game in a row due to the leg injury, though manager Dusty Baker said the veteran isn't a candidate to land on the injured list as a result of the issue, according to Rome. Aledmys Diaz will pick up a start in left field in place of Brantley, who will get another day of rest Thursday with a team off day before the Astros return to action Friday against the Padres in Houston.

Brantley will sit Tuesday against the Dodgers due to general leg soreness, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley's 34-year-old legs are banged up following the Astros' weekend series on the turf at Globe Life Field. He'll get to avoid a tough lefty in Clayton Kershaw but should return to the lineup Wednesday. Chas McCormick starts in left field in his absence.

Brantley is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley will get a day to rest after being in the lineup for six consecutive days. Aledmys Diaz will bat second and take over in left field as the Astros take on Dane Dunning.

Brantley isn't starting Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley went 2-for-12 with two runs and a walk in the last three games. Aledmys Diaz will take over in left field and bat second.

Brantley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

His shot off Domingo German helped the Astros tie the game at 3-3 in the fourth inning, but the team's offense went cold the rest of the way. Brantley hadn't gone yard since April 12, but he was hardly unproductive during his 17-game homerless drought. On the season, he's hitting .327 with three home runs, seven RBI and 18 runs in 25 contests.

Brantley went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 9-2 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

All four hits were singles, as Brantley paced a 15-hit attack by the Astros. The veteran outfielder wraps up a strong April hitting .345 with two homers, five RBI and 17 runs through 22 games.
