Indians outfielder Michael Brantley is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Brantley has dealt with back issues over the first week of the season. Manager Terry Francona said the outfielder is feeling a little better Sunday and the hope is that he'll be able to return to action Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Jerry Sands will get the start in left field for the Indians.
The Indians are favorites (-110) against the Tigers Sunday.
