DETROIT – Michael Brantley looked surprised when told that a report said he could miss a big chunk of playing time in 2017 because of lingering problems with a right shoulder injury that limited him to 11 games this season.
"I'm out again?" said Brantley, Thursday morning at Comerica Park. "Maybe he knows something I don't."
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reported that Brantley could miss "significant' playing time next season because of his right shoulder that has been operated on twice since November.
Brantley underwent season-ending surgery Aug.
