Brantley has been sidelined since June 27th with the shoulder injury. Brantley finishes the season hitting .288 with 5 homers, 26 RBI, and an OPS of .785.
The Astros will continue rotating different players in left field, with Brantley officially out for the year.
Brantley is in the final year of his contract with Houston, and we have to wonder if we've seen the last of him in an Astros uniform.
The latest update from Astros GM Dana Brown on the club's flagship station did not ease anyone's concerns this week. Brown said he was optimistic that Kyle Tucker would be back before September. September?
Which made us wonder what type of injury Tucker is really dealing with? A bone bruise doesn't typically take this long to heal.
Be sure to watch the video above as ESPN Houston's Joel Blank and Barry Laminack share their thoughts on Tucker's health, the Astros' secrecy when it comes to injuries, and much more!
