Michael Brantley Going For Tests
2 years agoThe Houston Astros have sent outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) back for further testing after it was announced on Tuesday that he had been shut down from hitting for a couple of days. Manager Dusty Baker said Brantley is "more sore than usual because he played a lot" on his minor-league rehab assignment. Baker said Tuesday night that the team wasn't considering it a setback and that Brantley was still close to returning from the injured list, but this says otherwise. The 35-year-old veteran has yet to play in 2023 while recovering from right-shoulder surgery last year, and there remains no timetable for his return. There has been hope that Brantley could make his 2023 debut this weekend, but we'll know more once we get the results back from his tests.
