CLEVELAND -- Michael Brantley will once again be aiming to be ready in time for Opening Day.
On Tuesday, the Indians announced that their star left fielder underwent a 45-minute procedure to address the biceps tendinitis issues that have plagued him all season. Brantley is expected to make a full recovery in four months, which should put him on target to go through a normal Spring Training in preparation for the 2017 season.
The surgery (biceps tenodesis) was performed by Dr. Keith Meister and Dr. Mark Schickendantz on Monday in Dallas, bringing an end to Brantley's attempts to come back from shoulder and biceps woes this year.
