Cleveland's Michael Brantley (ankle) could start Game 3

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley (ankle) is on the bench for Game 2 on Friday.

What It Means:

Due to an ankle injury, Brantley hasn't started a game since early August. The plan is for him to work out on Saturday, and if things go well, he could start Game 3 on Sunday. For now, the Indians will continue to use Lonnie Chisenhall and Austin Jackson in left field.

During the regular season, Brantley hit .299/.357/.444 with 9 home runs and 11 stolen bases over 375 plate appearances.
