Brantley (shoulder) continues to be limited to taking swings in the batting cage but has been able to increase his volume of swings, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The Indians are balancing the fact that they don't want to rush Brantley back versus the fact that the minor league seasons are coming to an end in a few weeks and his ability to head out on a rehab assignment to see some game action may be in jeopardy as a result. He continues to make progress but until he advances further in his rehab it's hard to pinpoint a potential return date.
