Indians outfielder Michael Brantley has had another setback, though it appears this one might only cost him about a week.
Brantley underwent an outpatient procedure on Friday to break up and relieve scar tissue that had built up in his surgically repaired right shoulder. Imaging of his shoulder revealed no structural damage. Indians head athletic trainer James Quinlan added that the doctors were “encouraged” with Brantley’s shoulder.
Brantley will rest through the weekend and is expected to resume baseball activities early next week.
“The fear is when you get tested that extensively, that you can almost find something on anybody,” Indians manager Terry Francona told reporters in Baltimore.
