CLEVELAND – The season is over for Tribe left fielder Michael Brantley, as the team announced today they are shutting him down due to a sore right shoulder.
Manager Terry Francona made the announcement before the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against Minnesota.
“Whenever the rest period is over, he’ll ramp it back up just to make sure everything feels good going into his off-season,” Francona told the media prior to the doubleheader vs the Twins.
“That will be a week, 10 days away, just so that we know, going into the off-season, he’s not fighting that and can go back into his normal program.
