Michael Brantley Away From The Team
2 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) is currently away from the team in spring training while dealing with a family matter, according to a team spokesman. Brantley hasn't even made his Grapefruit League debut this spring after having shoulder surgery last August, and it remains to be seen when he'll actually get into a game in camp. The Astros have been hoping all along that the 35-year-old veteran can be ready for Opening Day, but it wouldn't be a surprise at all if he began the 2023 season on the injured list. Fantasy managers in shallow mixed leagues should probably be leaving Brantley to the waiver wire. He's an excellent contact hitter and also hits for a high average when he's healthy, but he provides little else.
