CLEVELAND — Indians All-Star Michael Brantley has made yet another comeback.
The left fielder is on Cleveland's AL Division Series roster after it appeared his season might end because of an ankle ligament injury. Brantley missed 50 games after Aug. 8 when he got hurt but worked his way back and is expected to be used in a pinch-hitting role against the New York Yankees.
Brantley has been testing his ankle and may be able to play in the field during the series. He batted .299 with nine homers and 52 RBIs in 90 games.
Indians manager Terry Francona is carrying 11 pitchers, seven infielders, five outfielders and two catchers on the 25-man roster.
