HOUSTON (AP) — Veteran outfielder Michael Brantley has signed a one-year deal to remain with the Houston Astros after missing more than half of last season with a shoulder injury.
Terms of the deal announced Wednesday weren’t revealed.
The 2023 season will be Brantley’s fifth with the Astros. Last season he hit .288 with 14 doubles, five homers and 26 RBIs in 64 games before going on the injured list with a right shoulder injury that eventually required surgery.
In four seasons in Houston, he was named to two All-Star Games and hit .306 in 379 games. Brantley missed the postseason last season, when the Astros won the World Series, but has hit .327 in 47 career playoff games with them.
Brantley spent his first 10 major league seasons with Cleveland, where he was named to three All-Star Games and won a Silver Slugger Award in 2014.
