Brantley exited Tuesday's game against the Rockies with an apparent lower-body injury, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley appeared to injure himself while jogging in the outfield on a ball hit to center fielder Bradley Zimmer. The veteran outfielder came up gimpy and immediately sat down and called for team trainers. He was able to walk off the field under his own power and was replaced by Abraham Almonte.

Brantley is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Indians manager Terry Francona decided it was an opportune time to provide Brantley with his first day off since late June with the White Sox bringing southpaw Carlos Rodon to the hill for the series finale. To counter Rodon, lefty masher Brandon Guyer will check into the lineup in right field and bat sixth.

Brantley went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Saturday's walk-off win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley's 19th double of the season helped push his batting average back to .300, a mark it's been at or above for 14 of his last 18 contests. The outfielder's production has dipped recently, though, as he's hitting .267 in eight games since the All-Star break. On the other hand, Brantley has picked up his activity on the bases, stealing three bags during that stretch after swiping eight in his previous 66 contests.

Brantley went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and four RBI in Friday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

That's now three straight multi-hit performances for Brantley, who's hitting .368 (14-for-38) with seven runs and eight RBI in 10 games since recovering from an ankle sprain.

Brantley was named to the AL All-Star team after being voted on by the players, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Next week's affair in Miami will be Brantley's second All-Star Game, but this one comes with a different narrative. He made his first appearance in 2014, a year in which he won the Silver Slugger Award. This season, the veteran outfielder's numbers are borderline All-Star worthy, but his remarkable comeback from last year's injury-shortened campaign is deserving of the spotlight. Entering Wednesday, Brantley was hitting .297 with five home runs, 31 RBI and eight stolen bases.

Brantley (ankle) went 1-for-4 Tuesday against the Rangers in his first game back from his time on the disabled list.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley has been out since June 15th due to stints on both the paternity list and disabled list, but was able to hit a single in his return to action anyway. The left fielder's return will provide consistency for Cleveland's outfield, which just recently saw Brandon Guyer (wrist) return from injury while both Abraham Almonte (biceps) and Austin Jackson (quad) remain out.

Brantley is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, batting third and playing left field.

EDGE Analysis

It will mark Brantley's first game action since June 14, as the All-Star outfielder has been sidelined with an ankle sprain. The lefty is having a productive comeback season, batting .295 with 28 RBI and a .792 OPS over 54 games.

Brantley (ankle) isn't included in the lineup Monday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't appear that Brantley suffered an unexpected setback with his sprained right ankle after being activated from the disabled list earlier Monday. Instead, the Twins are likely just keeping Brantley available off the bench in order to get an extra right-handed bat in the lineup against a tough lefty in the Rangers' Cole Hamels. Brandon Guyer (wrist), who was also activated from the DL on Monday, will fill Brantley's normal spot in left field.

Brantley was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley hasn't played since June 14 while recovering from a sprained right ankle, but seems good to go after completing some batting and running drills. The veteran outfielder will likely return to the Indians' outfield when they open up a four-game set with the Rangers on Monday, as he looks to improve upon his .296/.360/.432 slash line. Daniel Robertson and Shawn Armstrong were optioned to Triple-A in corresponding moves.

Brantley (ankle) took batting practice Thursday and is scheduled to perform running drills Friday, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantley was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, but he's on pace to have a brief stint on the sidelines. He's eligible to return Monday, so fantasy players setting weekly lineups should have a clear idea of his availability, which at this time appears nearly certain for early next week.
