Indians' Michael Brantley: Heads for paternity leave

Brantley was placed on the paternity list Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

As anticipated, Brantley's roster spot will be opened up while he attends to the birth of his child. Right-hander Adam Plutko was recalled to fill the void on the roster, and Daniel Robertson seems like the main beneficiary of the available playing time. Look for Brantley to be back in the next few days.
