Jason Kipnis

Cleveland giving Jason Kipnis the night off on Monday

The Cleveland Indians are giving second baseman Jason Kipnis Monday night off as they face the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Kipnis has played in nine consecutive games since being activated from the disabled list and is getting a routine day off. Michael Martinez is filling in at second and batting ninth versus Daniel Norris and the Tigers.

Kipnis has started off slow this season as he is batting just .161/.212/.161 with one RBI and four runs scored and is still looking for his first home run after 33 plate appearances.
