Brantley being promoted to Cleveland, source says.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians are going to put right fielder Shin-Soo Choo on the disabled list and recall Michael Brantley from Class AAA Columbus.
The moves will be made official Sunday morning.
Choo, likely to be named Sunday as the Indians' lone All-Star, injured his right thumb in the eighth inning Friday night attempting to make a diving catch against Oakland. He was out of the game by the ninth.
Late Saturday afternoon, Choo left Progressive Field to have an MRI scan of the thumb, which was in a velcro wrap.
Brantley was removed from the Clippers' lineup Saturday night in Toledo.
A roster move was not announced Saturday night.
Brantley began the season with Cleveland. He hit .156 (5-for-32) in nine games before being demoted.
Brantley, acquired from Milwaukee along with Matt LaPorta in the CC Sabathia trade in 2008, made his major-league debut with the Indians in 2009. He was called up late in the season and hit .313 in 28 games.
Indians manager Manny Acta has said the recent reports on Brantley have been very good.
Brantley entered Saturday hitting .315 in 58 games for the Clippers.
