Michael Brantley Getting A Breather On Wednesday
                
        
        Houston Astros outfielder Michael  Brantley is getting the day off on Wednesday as the team faces Mike  Minor and the Kansas City Royals. Aledmys  Diaz and Kyle  Tucker are covering the corner infield spots with Diaz slotted into Brantley's usual No. 2 spot in the lineup. Brantley is batting .314 on the year, which is fifth best in the majors amongst qualified hitters. However, he's hitless over his last three games. He's gone 0-for-11 with four walks and one strikeout over the three-game stretch and he's slashing just .247/.318/.351 over August as a whole. He hasn't provided much power all year with just eight home runs over 104 games on the season, but he should continue to give fantasy managers a solid boost in batting average and runs scored going forward.
