Brantley was activated from the DL on Monday, but he's not in the starting lineup against Twins lefty Tommy Milone.
Brantley is 2-for-10 in his career against Milone, but it's somewhat surprising that he is not in the lineup upon activation from the DL. The corresponding move for Brantley's return was to place Carlos Carrasco on the 15-day DL, so the Indians apparently simply added Brantley as an available bench bat Monday with the plan of starting him Tuesday against Ricky Nolasco.
