Michael Brantley Takes Batting Practice On Saturday
10 months agoHouston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) handled on-field batting practice on Saturday for the first time post-All-Star break. However, manager Dusty Baker couldn't provide an update on Brantley's health despite the progress. The 36-year-old commenced a rehab assignment on April 23, but suffered a setback after 24 at-bats in the minor leagues. Brantley has been on the injured list all season while recovering from Aug. 2022 right shoulder surgery. The veteran contact hitter's return timetable remains in the dark at this time. Brantley seems more likely to make an impact for Houston perhaps in the playoffs rather than be a fantasy factor in 2023 at this point.
