Brantley underwent an X-ray after fouling a ball off his foot Wednesday but is in the lineup Thursday for Game 5 of the ALCS against the Rays, batting second as the designated hitter, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley left Wednesday's game due to the incident, though his removal was evidently precautionary. The veteran is hitting .341/.413/.610 with three homers in 10 games this postseason, so the Astros will certainly be happy to have him available.

Brantley went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in a win over the A's on Thursday in Game 4 of the ALDS.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley got the Astros on the board with his two-run home run in the fourth inning and added a solo shot in the fifth. He had just five long balls during the regular season. At 33 years old, Brantley can still hit for average with the best of them in Major League Baseball. He's hit .300-plus in three straight regular seasons and is now batting .346 during these playoffs.

Brantley isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

After starting every game for the past month, Brantley will get a breather ahead of the playoffs. Yuli Gurriel will rest his legs Saturday with Aledmys Diaz starting at first base.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley got aboard with a fielder's choice in the first inning before scoring on a Kyle Tucker single. In the sixth, Brantley's go-ahead solo shot sparked a five-run rally for the Astros. He also walked in the seventh before stealing third after Alex Bregman's single. The big performance gave Brantley five homers, two steals, 22 RBI and 23 runs scored in 42 games this season.

Brantley went 3-for-4 in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

All three of Brantley's hits were singles, and Mariners starter Marco Gonzales did well to prevent the outfielder from getting home each time. In 41 games, Brantley is slashing .311/.373/.490 with four homers, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored and a stolen base.

Brantley went 5-for-6 with a home run, three doubles, two runs, two RBI and a walk during Tuesday's doubleheader against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley gave Houston a 1-0 lead with an RBI single in the first and later provided a pair of insurance runs with a two-run double in the eighth. The outfielder is enjoying a fantastic stretch at the dish in which he's slugged two homers and three doubles while going 9-for-18 during a five-game hit streak.

Brantley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley got the scoring started with an early two-run homer off Kolby Allard in the first inning. It was his second long ball in as many nights and his third of the season. Through 22 games, the 33-year-old leads the Astros with a .300 batting average.

Brantley went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and four RBI in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley put Houston temporarily ahead with a three-run blast in the seventh inning and brought them to within a run with a run-scoring single in the 10th. The four RBI were a season high for Brantley, whose long ball was his first since Opening Day. Still, the veteran has been one of Houston's most effective hitters this season, slashing .299/.379/.494 through 87 plate appearances.

Brantley is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Considering he just got back from a quadriceps injury, it was expected that he would sit for at least one of the two games Tuesday. He will be the DH for Game 2 and could return to the field this weekend against the A's, according to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic. Taylor Jones will start at designated hitter and bat sixth.
