Cleveland giving Jason Kipnis, Carlos Santana a breather Thursday
Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis and first baseman Carlos Santana will get the day off on Thursday.
What It Means:
Cleveland has clinched the AL Central, and so manager Terry Francona is giving regular rest to the mainstays of their lineup. Michael Martinez will get the start at second while Jesus Aguilar starts at first base Thursday.
The Indians rank fifth in numberFire's MLB Team Power Rankings, but they have the third-best chances of winning the World Series (12.3 percent), based on our metrics.
