Brantley, who left the team to be with his wife Thursday for the birth of their child, might be placed on the paternity list in the next few days, Zach Meisel of Cleveland.com reports.
It depends on whether the Indians want to open up a roster spot for a brief window. Brantley should be back Sunday, at the latest, if the club makes the transaction. Daniel Robertson could continue taking on extra at-bats in Brantley's absence, as he did Thursday.
