Michael Brantley Returns To The Lineup On Sunday
4 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is back in the starting lineup on Sunday after getting a routine day off on Saturday. Brantley and the Astros face Jordan Lyles and the Texas Rangers in their season finale. It's been a solid year for the 33-year-old veteran, who is slashing .298/.362/.476 with five home runs, 22 RBI and 24 runs. He has a higher strikeout rate this year (15.1%) than last year (10.4%) and his .275 xBA this year is also a significant drop from last year's clip (.301). Still, he should be counted on to have another strong year in 2021 as one of the more consistent hitters in one of the league's best lineups.
