Indians manager Terry Francona said that Michael Brantley (forearm) is likely to return to game action by Sunday.

Brantley needed 15 stitches last week after he was spiked on the left forearm by the Athletics' Josh Donaldson, but he's scheduled to return to workouts on Thursday. The 25-year-old still has plenty of time to get at-bats before Opening Day.
