Michael Brantley had a nice night at the dish against the Red Sox on Thursday, going 4-for-5 in the Indians 8-3 win.
Brantley drove home two and also scored a run in the game. The four-hit effort raises his average up to .256, and he's now driven in 11 runs on the season. With the talk of Grady Sizemore potentially being able to return soon, Brantley will need to string together more games like this to secure his spot in the everyday lineup.
May 10 - 11:23 PM
Michael Brantley (wrist) is back in the Indians' starting lineup Wednesday.
Brantley sat out Tuesday's game due to soreness in his right wrist, but it's not a major concern at the moment. The 24-year-old outfielder is batting just .196 (11-for-56) over his first 13 games this season.

Michael Brantley didn't start Tuesday's game due to soreness in his right wrist.
He was able to come in as a defensive replacement, suggesting the ailment isn't too big of a deal. But, it's worth noting that it's the same wrist that he had surgery on last year to remove a hamate bone. He expects to play Wednesday.
Apr 24 - 10:51 PM
Michael Brantley went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox.
He also stranded four runners. Since doubling in the second inning of the Indians' opening game, Brantley is in an 0-for-15 tailspin.

Jack Hannahan
Sidelined
Jack Hannahan (back) is available off the bench Wednesday but isn't expected to return to the lineup for a couple days.
Hannahan hasn't played since May 13, so it's surprising the Indians haven't placed him on the disabled list at this point. Perhaps he'll finally make it back by this weekend.

Grady Sizemore
D.L.
Grady Sizemore (back) took batting practice Wednesday for the first time since landing on the disabled list.
"He looked good for the first time," Acta said. "He swung the bat good, but it's just a start. We're not going to rush anything. He's going to continue his rehab, and I'm anticipating that he's going to go on a rehab assignment where he's going to have plenty of at-bats before he comes up here and plays." Sizemore has been hitting, throwing and doing running and agility drills, but he's not close to returning to the lineup. He's hoping to be back before the end of June.

Josh Tomlin (wrist) will be activated from the disabled list and rejoin the rotation on Monday against the Royals.
Tomlin tossed a successful 50-pitch simulated game on Thursday and won't need a rehab assignment before returning. His pitch count figures to be limited Monday.

Roberto Hernandez
Suspended
Indians manager Manny Acta said Monday that Roberto Hernandez is confident he will receive his travel visa and return to the team.
Hernandez, formerly known as Fausto Carmona, was arrested in his native Dominican Republic in January for falsifying his identity. He reached a deal last month to have the charges dropped in exchange for completing a work program, but it's not clear when he'll receive a visa to travel to the United States. It's possible that MLB could still levy a suspension, though the Indians are hopeful that reducing his salary will serve as an appropriate punishment. He's staying in playing shape in the meantime.
