Michael Brantley's shoulder trouble reminds Cleveland Indians fans of Travis Hafner

Michael Brantley’s return to the Cleveland Indians has hit another roadblock, as the All-Star left fielder reporter more soreness around his right shoulder after taking batting practice last week. He went to a specialist and has been diagnosed with chronic biceps tendinitis. Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti says another surgery for Brantley is "a possibility," but that the team is waiting to hear the full recommendation from a team of doctors.

Brantley first injured his shoulder last September 22, while diving for a ball in a game against the Twins.
