Brantley works through back issues as Indians hold line
Michael Brantley continues to trend toward a return from lower back soreness, staying off the disabled list while the Indians monitor him closely. He has missed five of seven games, part of a cautious approach as Cleveland promotes Brett Hayes and designates Shaun Marcum. The club also adds pitcher Jhoulys Chacin to a minor league deal to bolster depth in a depleted rotation. Francona praised LeBron James and noted Mozgov’s ceremonial first pitch as Cavaliers win coverage rounds out the day.
