Indians notebook: Outfielder Michael Brantley continuing positive progress; manager Terry Francona discusses honoring Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby

CLEVELAND: As Indians outfielder Michael Brantley has rehabbed from offseason shoulder surgery, the focus hasn’t just been on how he’s felt during minor league assignments.

It’s also been on how he’s bounced back the next day.

Brantley, who went 1-for-2 in a rehab assignment Thursday night for the Double-A RubberDucks, has gotten all positive feedback this week in two rehab assignments.

“I feel good, very excited,” Brantley said. “It was good to hit BP today, so it’s almost like a back-to-back. … I’m very excited [with] where I’m at. My shoulder’s responded very well. I understand it’s still a process, but all good signs so far.
