Indians' Michael Brantley: To resume hitting after Christmas

Brantley (shoulder) is expected to resume hitting after Christmas and remains on track to be ready for spring training, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The 2016 season proved to be quite a disappointment for Brantley, who appeared in only 11 games for the Indians after experiencing several setbacks in his return from shoulder surgery. The talented outfielder will make for an intriguing draft-day gamble, as he possesses the upside to win some fantasy leagues, but also comes with a fair amount of risk due to his recent injury history.
