Update On Michael Brantley

While speaking with the media, Astros manager Dusty Baker noted that Michael Brantley "still didn't feel right" while swinging, and that "he's still a little sore."

Brantley has been out with shoulder discomfort since late-June, and with this development, it seems that he could end up missing more time from here. This isn't ideal, as the Astros are trying to build on their AL West lead. Furthermore, Brantley is of course an important part of their roster.

In 64 games this season, Brantley has five home runs and a .288 batting average.
