Michael Brantley serving as Indians' DH in ALDS Game 3

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley is in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

With Edwin Encarnacion out on Sunday, Brantley will serve as the team's designated hitter. Brantley was an interesting addition to the Tribe's ALDS roster, but no one is questioning Terry Francona's decision now with Encarnacion's ankle injury. Brantley is hitting seventh against right-hander Masahiro Tanaka on Sunday.

Our models project Brantley for 10.5 FanDuel points on Sunday.
