Manager Terry Francona said that the plan is to activate Brantley (ankle) from the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against Kansas City, The Athletic's Zack Meisel reports.

Brantley was able to play in a minor-league spring game without experiencing any setbacks Tuesday. The outfielder will likely be eased back into the lineup, as Francona has the outfield depth at his disposal to avoid giving the 30-year-old a big workload this early in the season. Brantley has dealt with a myriad of injuries over the past two years, which has limited him to 101 games since the start of 2016.
