Brantley has decides to call it a career after 15 seasons in the majors since 2009. Among the most underrated fantasy contributors of his era, the 36-year-old outfielder retires as a five-time All-Star selection with a robust .298/.355/.439 triple-slash line to accompany 129 homers and 125 stolen bases over 1,445 games. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Cleveland before heading to Houston for a half decade where he won a World Series title in 2022.

Brantley has been moved to the second spot after Mauricio Dubón went 2-for-10 in the last two games from that spot. Chas McCormick will start Sunday’s game on the bench as the veteran shifts to the left-field corner. Here’s the full lineup: Jose Altuve (2B), Brantley (LF), Alex Bregman (3B), Yordan Alvarez (DH), José Abreu (1B), Kyle Tucker (RF), Dubón (CF), Jeremy Peña (SS) and Martín Maldonado (C).

Brantley made a brilliant catch in left field the last time he was out there for Game 3, so it’s not a surprise to see him back out there as the Astros look to punch their return ticket to the World Series. Here’s the full lineup against Rangers’ right-hander Nathan Eovaldi: Jose Altuve (2B), Michael Brantley (LF), Alex Bregman (3B), Yordan Alvarez (DH), José Abreu (1B), Kyle Tucker (RF), Mauricio Dubón (CF), Jeremy Peña (SS) and Martín Maldonado (C).

Brantley is batting sixth against the Nathan Eovaldi. Mauricio Dubon returns to the bench.
