Michael Brantley Out Of Lineup With Leg Soreness
3 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday night due to "general leg soreness," according to Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. Manager Dusty Baker said the soreness was due to playing on artificial turf at Globe Life Field over the weekend, and that he should return to the lineup for Wednesday's matchup. He's been having a good year at the plate so far, slashing .305/.346/.455 with three home runs, 15 RBI and 25 runs scored over 41 games. For now, it doesn't sound like anything managers should be too concerned by, as Chas McCormick will get the start in left and bat seventh against the Dodgers.
