Michael Brantley M. Brantley

Cleveland's Michael Brantley out of the lineup Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley is not in the lineup for Thursday's home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

It's just a routine day off for Brantley, and he'll be replaced in left field by Daniel Robertson, who will bat second against Dodgers' lefty Rich Hill.

Brantley has only managed a .302 wOBA against left-handed pitching this season, and his absence from the lineup doesn't have much of an impact on the Indians' offensive outlook. They have a 4.48 implied total in this one.
