Indians claim Jason Kipnis' ankle is not a concern
Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis' left ankle is "fine," bench coach Brad Mills told MLB Network on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Kipnis looked fine during pregame drills ahead of Tuesday's World Series matchup with the Chicago Cubs. He suffered a low ankle sprain while celebrating the final out of the American League Championship Series, but is good to go for Game 1. The 29-year-old is batting second and starting at second versus Cubs left-hander Jon Lester.
Kipnis is slashing .167/.219/.367 with a .251 wOBA in 32 plate appearances this postseason. He's knocked a couple of dingers while driving in four runs.
