Two hits for Michael Brantley against Tigers
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(5/12/13) Indians outfielder Michael Brantley went 2 for 4 in a victory Sunday against Detroit.

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

Michael Brantley finding extra bases
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/1/13) Indians outfielder Michael Brantley hit his first home run of the season Tuesday against the Phillies, a sign that he has found his stroke. Brantley opened the season with one extra-base hit (double) in 50 at-bats.

But in the last nine games, Brantley has four doubles, a triple and a home run in 41 at-bats, with seven RBI. Brantley has improved his batting averag from .240 to .286, putting him right in line with preseason expectations.

Brantley has yet to steal a base, but he's productive otherwise. He is a useful AL-only Fantasy option, and he's starting to look intriguing in deeper mixed-league formats.
