Cleveland Indians fans may have been worried when Jason Kipnis‘ injury was announced, but there will be some excitement about the replacement plan.
With Jose Ramirez sliding over to play second base while Kipnis recovers, Yandy Diaz has been named to the roster to play third, with Michael Martinez also making it as a utility infielder.
Barring injury or anything unexpected, Yandy Diaz and Michael Martinez are expected to make our club.

Some may stress about Martinez making it, but the Indians aren’t going to have players like Erik Gonzalez or Giovanny Urshela make the team, only to ride the bench.
