Jason Kipnis

Jason Kipnis (hamstring) kept out by Cleveland on Sunday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis (hamstring) is not in Sunday's starting lineup.

What It Means:

Kipnis (hamstring) came up limping after trying to run out a grounder on Saturday, so Cleveland will be extra cautious with him and hold their starter out of the first-half finale on Sunday. Erik Gonzalez starts in his place today.

Our models project Kipnis to hit .270 with 7 home runs, 33 runs, 28 RBI, and 6 stolen bases in 254 more plate appearances this year, assuming health is in order.
