The wait for a Cleveland title is finished. The wait for Michael Brantley’s return continues.
After having his workload “ramped up” last week, Brantley felt discomfort in his biceps and lower shoulder area. He had a lighter day on Monday and was diagnosed with right biceps tendinitis.
The Indians flew Brantley to Dallas to meet with Dr. Keith Meister and get a second opinion. He also has received another MRI and a second cortisone shot. It’s more reason for concern that Brantley’s return will come later rather than sooner.
“Even though he was doing front-toss flips, the intensity was getting ramped up,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.
