Jason Kipnis

Cleveland giving Jason Kipnis the day off on Monday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis is not in the starting lineup for Monday's home game against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

It's a routine day of rest for Kipnis, and he'll be replaced in the starting lineup by Giovanny Urshela.

Kipnis has struggled to the tune of a .296 wOBA through 78 games in 2017, and numberFire's models project him to bat .266 while adding 3 home runs and 13 RBI in 105 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
